Forecast

The barometric pressure in Schenectady varies throughout the year. It changes with the seasons, influenced by the movement of high and low-pressure systems. Pressure drops when low-pressure systems dominate, bringing unstable weather. It rises when high-pressure systems prevail, leading to fair weather.

Schenectady is situated in the Hudson River Valley. The city is surrounded by the Adirondack Mountains to the north and the Taconic Mountains to the east. These mountains affect the local atmospheric pressure. They block or redirect air masses, leading to changes in pressure. This, in turn, impacts the weather in Schenectady.

The city's landscape also includes the Mohawk River, which runs through it. The river's valley allows cold air from the north to flow in. This cold air collides with the warmer air from the Hudson River Valley, influencing the local pressure. The resulting pressure changes bring different types of weather to Schenectady.
