Hourly Pressure Trends

Medicine Hat's weather is affected by its location in southeastern Alberta. The Rocky Mountains to the west and southwest block moist air from the Pacific, causing dry air to dominate. This creates relatively low air pressure. The city's low elevation, about 690 meters above sea level, contributes to this low pressure. In winter, Medicine Hat's air pressure is usually lower due to cold Arctic air masses. In summer, the air pressure is often higher because of warm air from the southeast. Medicine Hat has a semi-arid climate, with low humidity and limited precipitation, which also affects the air pressure.
