Forecast

The barometric pressure in Nuku'alofa is generally high. It ranges from 1013 to 1023 millibars throughout the year. The pressure is highest in July and August. It is lowest in February and March.

Nuku'alofa is situated on the north coast of Tongatapu Island. The city is surrounded by coral reefs and a flat coastal plain. This landscape blocks or slows down winds coming from the ocean. As a result, the air pressure in the city is higher than in other coastal areas.

The island's terrain also affects the air pressure. The flat coastal plain allows air to spread out and settle. This reduces wind speed and increases air pressure. The surrounding coral reefs also block winds, further increasing air pressure.
