Track the barometric pressure in Punta Arenas hour by hour across the next 6 hourly readings.
Punta Arenas' weather is windy and cool, which affects air pressure. The city's location near the Antarctic makes air pressure lower than other places.
The Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west trap cold air, making Punta Arenas' air pressure even lower.
In winter, the air pressure is lower because cold air is denser and heavier. This brings strong winds and storms.
In summer, the air pressure is slightly higher because warm air is lighter and thinner. This brings clearer skies and lighter winds.
Punta Arenas has a subpolar oceanic climate, which means it's cold and windy year-round. The low air pressure makes the weather change quickly and often.
