The barometric pressure in Vancouver is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains. It tends to be higher during fair weather and lower during storms. This variation in pressure affects the weather patterns in the region.
Vancouver is situated in a coastal valley surrounded by mountains to the north and east. The city's proximity to the ocean means that it is exposed to moist air from the Pacific. This leads to a significant amount of rainfall throughout the year. The mountains surrounding the city trap the moist air, resulting in a unique microclimate.
The landscape around Vancouver also affects the wind patterns in the region. Prevailing winds from the west bring warm, moist air from the ocean. As the air rises over the mountains, it cools, resulting in precipitation. This process creates a rain shadow effect, making the area east of the city drier than the west.
