In Palmerston North, the barometric pressure changes throughout the seasons. During the summer, the pressure tends to be higher, bringing warm and sunny weather. In contrast, the pressure drops in winter, often bringing cooler temperatures and more cloudy days.
The landscape around Palmerston North, with its surrounding mountains and hills, can influence the atmospheric pressure. When a high-pressure system is present, the air descends and is compressed by the surrounding higher terrain. This results in higher barometric pressure. Conversely, when a low-pressure system moves in, the air rises and expands, leading to lower pressure and potentially more unsettled weather conditions.
