Portland is situated near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The city is surrounded by mountains to the east and west. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west.

The surrounding mountains and ocean have an impact on the atmospheric pressure. The mountains block some weather patterns from reaching the city. The ocean helps regulate temperature and humidity.

During the winter, a high-pressure system often sits over the Pacific Ocean. This brings dry air from the east, lowering the barometric pressure. In the summer, a low-pressure system develops over the land. This pulls moist air from the ocean, increasing the barometric pressure.
