Track the barometric pressure in Rotorua hour by hour and stay informed about how it will change over the next 6 hours.
The barometric pressure in Rotorua is influenced by its location near the coast and surrounding mountains. The pressure changes constantly due to the movement of high and low-pressure systems. These systems bring different air masses that affect the local weather.
Rotorua is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains and hills. These natural barriers disrupt airflow and create channels for winds to follow. The city's proximity to the coast also allows maritime air to penetrate inland.
The surrounding landscape contributes to the variability of atmospheric pressure in Rotorua. The city's unique geography creates a microclimate that is different from nearby areas. This is because air is forced to rise and cool as it crosses the mountains, resulting in precipitation.
