The weather in Otaki is influenced by low-pressure systems that move east across the Tasman Sea, causing pressure to drop. High-pressure systems from the Tasman Sea bring rising pressure.

Otaki's valley location and 12-meter elevation allow cold air to settle, increasing atmospheric pressure. Surrounding hills force winds to rise, cool, and drop their moisture, affecting pressure.

In summer, pressure is generally higher due to a stronger high-pressure belt. In winter, pressure is lower due to a stronger low-pressure belt. Spring and autumn bring more variability.

Otaki has a mild oceanic climate, with frequent changes in pressure, leading to unpredictable weather and occasional strong winds.
