Salinas, California has a Mediterranean climate, which means it has dry summers and mild, wet winters. This climate type creates big changes in air pressure throughout the year.
During summer, the dry air from the California High Pressure System pushes in, causing high air pressure and clear skies. This happens because the city is near the Pacific Coast, where the cold ocean water cools the air, making it harder for air to rise and cool, resulting in high pressure.
In winter, the opposite happens. Low-pressure systems from the Pacific Ocean bring rain and storms, causing low air pressure. The Salinas Valley, where the city is located, traps the cold air, making it even cooler, which contributes to low air pressure.
