Forecast

Springston's air pressure is affected by the Pacific Ocean's warmth and moisture, which brings a subtropical influence, making the air feel lighter and more unstable.

The surrounding hills and mountains in Springston create a rain shadow effect, causing air to rise and cool, resulting in higher air pressure.

In summer, the air pressure is generally lower due to warm, moist air from the ocean, leading to more sunny days and occasional rain showers.

In winter, the air pressure is higher due to cold, dry air from the Antarctic, bringing more calm and settled weather, with some frosty mornings.

Springston has a temperate oceanic climate, characterized by mild temperatures and rainfall throughout the year, which is influenced by the high-pressure systems from the west and low-pressure systems from the east.
