Forecast

The barometric pressure in Mackay is influenced by the city's coastal location. It tends to be high during periods of fair weather. Low-pressure systems can bring rain and stormy conditions.

Mackay is surrounded by the Coral Sea to the east and the Pioneer Valley to the west. The sea breeze from the Coral Sea cools the city during hot summer months. The Pioneer Valley, with its mountain ranges, forces winds to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation. This unique landscape contributes to the changes in atmospheric pressure.
