Forecast

Maseru's weather is influenced by its high altitude, which makes the air pressure lower than at sea level. This means the air is thinner and can't hold as much moisture.

The city's location in a valley surrounded by mountains affects air pressure too. The mountains block or redirect winds, making the air pressure change depending on the wind direction.

In summer, the air pressure is usually lower due to hot air rising, causing thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. In winter, the air pressure is higher, leading to clear skies and cold temperatures.

Maseru has a subtropical highland climate, which means it experiences big temperature differences between summer and winter. This climate type leads to large air pressure changes throughout the year.
