Forecast

The barometric pressure in Salt Lake City varies throughout the year due to its location in a valley. It tends to be lower during winter and higher during summer. Pressure changes can bring different weather patterns, such as storms or clear skies.

Salt Lake City is surrounded by mountains to the east and the Great Salt Lake to the west. These geographical features influence the atmospheric pressure. The mountains block moisture from the Pacific Ocean, creating a rain shadow effect. As a result, the city experiences relatively low humidity.

The Great Salt Lake also plays a role in shaping the local climate. Its massive size and shallow waters heat up slowly, which in turn affects the air above it. During winter, the lake's cooler surface helps keep temperatures relatively mild.
