The barometric pressure in Oro Valley varies throughout the year due to its location in the Sonoran Desert. Weather systems from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California influence the pressure.

Oro Valley is surrounded by mountains, including the Santa Catalina Mountains to the east and the Tortolita Mountains to the northwest. These mountains block or redirect air masses, affecting the pressure. The city's elevation, about 2,500 feet above sea level, also contributes to the pressure fluctuations.

During the summer, the intense desert heat causes the air to expand and rise, leading to lower pressure. In the winter, cooler air from the north brings higher pressure. The pressure is also influenced by the North American Monsoon, which brings heavy rainfall and thunderstorms during the summer months.
