The barometric pressure in New Plymouth, Taranaki, is affected by the city's coastal location. It experiences slight changes throughout the day. These changes are noticeable during weather fronts.

New Plymouth is surrounded by the Tasman Sea to the west and the rugged Taranaki ranges to the east. This unique landscape creates a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the sea meets the mountain range, resulting in precipitation. The mountainous terrain also disrupts air flow, leading to changes in pressure. As a result, the city's pressure is influenced by these geographical features.
