Forecast

The barometric pressure in Sacramento is influenced by its inland location. It experiences slight changes throughout the year. These changes are driven by the temperature and humidity.

Sacramento is situated in the Sacramento Valley, surrounded by mountains to the east and west. The Sierra Nevada mountain range lies to the east, while the Coast Ranges are to the west. This unique geography affects the airflow, contributing to the pressure changes. As air moves over the mountains, it cools and condenses, resulting in changes to the pressure.

The surrounding landscape also influences the weather patterns. During the summer, hot air from the valley rises, creating an area of low pressure near the surface. This draws in air from the Pacific Ocean, bringing in cooler air and influencing the pressure. In the winter, the opposite occurs, with cold air sinking and creating an area of high pressure.
