The barometric pressure in Madrid fluctuates throughout the year, influenced by its inland location. It often rises during winter months, leading to clearer skies and fairer weather. This results in low humidity, making the air feel crisp and clean.
Madrid is situated in the central plateau of Spain, known as the Meseta Central. The city is surrounded by mountains to the north and east, which block moisture-laden air from the Atlantic Ocean. This leads to a rain shadow effect, causing Madrid to receive relatively little rainfall throughout the year.
The city's landscape also contributes to its unique weather patterns. The Guadarrama Mountains to the north create a barrier that funnels winds from the north and east. This funneling effect can cause temperature fluctuations, especially during the winter months.
