The barometric pressure in Santa Cruz fluctuates throughout the year. It is influenced by the city's proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The pressure drops when low-pressure systems move in from the ocean. This brings rain and windy weather. The pressure rises when high-pressure systems dominate, leading to clear skies and calm conditions.
Santa Cruz is situated near the coast, surrounded by mountains and hills. The Santa Cruz Mountains run parallel to the coastline, east of the city. These mountains block air from the east, forcing it to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation. The hills and mountains also channel air from the ocean, which influences the local pressure patterns.
