The barometric pressure in La Paz is influenced by its location in a valley. This means that the pressure is often lower than in surrounding areas. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range also affects the pressure.
La Paz is surrounded by mountains to the north and hills to the south. This unique landscape creates a microclimate with varying atmospheric conditions. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range blocks moisture-laden air from the Caribbean Sea, causing it to rise and cool. This results in a decrease in pressure.
The terrain around La Paz also leads to a channeling effect, where winds are funneled through the valley. This can cause pressure fluctuations throughout the day. As a result, the weather in La Paz is often unpredictable and can change rapidly.
