Forecast

Pontypool's barometric pressure is affected by its location in a valley. This means the pressure can fluctuate rapidly. Changes in pressure can bring unpredictable weather.

The city is surrounded by hills to the north and mountains to the south. This unique landscape disrupts airflow. As air rises over the hills, it cools and condenses, forming clouds. In turn, this affects the atmospheric pressure. The nearby mountains also block or redirect winds, further impacting the pressure.
