The barometric pressure in Salisbury varies throughout the day. It changes depending on the weather system that is affecting the area. When a low-pressure system approaches, the pressure drops. This brings cloudier and wetter weather. When a high-pressure system dominates, the pressure rises. This leads to clearer and drier conditions.
Salisbury is situated in a valley near the confluence of two rivers. The surrounding hills and mountains influence the local climate. The valley traps cold air, making Salisbury colder than surrounding areas. The hills also force winds to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in clouds and precipitation.
The landscape around Salisbury also affects the atmospheric pressure. The nearby mountains create a rain shadow effect. This means that the prevailing westerly winds drop most of their moisture before reaching the city. As a result, Salisbury receives less rainfall than areas to the west.
