Forecast

The barometric pressure in Pretoria varies throughout the day and night. It responds to changes in the atmosphere, such as temperature and humidity.

Pretoria is situated in a valley, surrounded by mountains to the east and west. The city's landscape affects the airflow, causing pressure changes. The mountains block or redirect winds, influencing the pressure.

The surrounding mountains also impact the local climate. They create a rain shadow effect, resulting in low rainfall in Pretoria. This leads to a relatively dry atmosphere, which affects the barometric pressure.
