The barometric pressure in Pietermaritzburg is influenced by the city's inland location. It tends to be lower than in coastal areas due to its elevation. This results in a more fluctuating pressure pattern.

Barometric pressure

Pietermaritzburg is situated in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. The nearby Drakensberg Mountains have a significant impact on the atmospheric pressure. They create a rain shadow effect, where prevailing winds drop most of their moisture. This leads to a relatively dry climate in the city.

The landscape around Pietermaritzburg also affects the flow of air masses. The city's valley location creates a channeling effect, directing air masses into the region. This can lead to sudden changes in weather patterns.
