The barometric pressure in Thatcham is affected by the city's location in the Thames Valley. It can vary significantly over a short period of time. Changes in pressure are often accompanied by changes in the weather.
Thatcham is situated in a valley surrounded by hills to the south and east. The North Wessex Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty, lies to the south. The hills and Downs influence the local climate. They create a rain shadow effect, causing drier air to dominate the region. As a result, Thatcham experiences less rainfall than areas to the west.
The city's valley location also traps cold air. In winter, this can lead to foggy and frosty mornings. The surrounding hills can also channel winds, making the city feel cooler than surrounding areas. In contrast, the hills can also shield Thatcham from strong winds, resulting in a milder climate.
