Forecast

 

Barometric pressure in Queenstown is known to be unstable due to its unique location. This means pressure systems can change quickly. Pressure can drop rapidly bringing rain or snow. Conversely, pressure can rise swiftly, clearing skies.

Barometric pressure

Queenstown is surrounded by mountains, including the Southern Alps. These mountains disrupt airflow, creating turbulence. This turbulence affects atmospheric pressure. Air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation. The proximity of Lake Wakatipu and other lakes also influences local weather patterns. Moist air from the lakes meets the mountains, further contributing to unpredictable pressure systems.
