Hourly Pressure Trends
Track the barometric pressure in Palmerston North hour by hour across the next 6 hourly readings.
Palmerston North has changeable weather, with rain possible in any season. Passing low-pressure systems often bring cloud, showers, and stronger winds. High pressure usually brings calmer, drier conditions, though clouds or fog can still form, especially on cool mornings.
The city lies inland on the Manawatu Plain, about 30 kilometres from the west coast. This distance softens the ocean’s influence, while nearby ranges can affect wind and rainfall. Westerly winds often cross the plain, and easterly winds can feel cooler and bring cloud.
Summers are usually warm, while winters are cool, with frosts and fog on some mornings. Spring and autumn bring frequent shifts between settled and unsettled weather. Rain falls throughout the year, but showers often arrive with passing fronts rather than staying for long periods.
