The barometric pressure in Palmerston North is typically between 1013 and 1023 hectopascals. This is slightly higher than the national average. The pressure is usually highest in July and lowest in January.
Palmerston North is located in a valley. The Manawatu River runs through the city. The surrounding landscape is flat and low-lying.
This valley location affects the atmospheric pressure. Cold air settles in the valley at night. This causes the pressure to rise. In the morning, the pressure drops as the air warms up.
The nearby Tararua Ranges also impact the pressure. They create a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the Tasman Sea is blocked by the ranges. This leads to a drier climate in Palmerston North.
