The barometric pressure in Wellington is constantly changing due to its location near the ocean and surrounding mountains. This variablility affects the weather patterns in the city.

Wellington is situated on the Cook Strait, a narrow waterway that separates the North and South Islands. This unique position exposes the city to wind and storms from the Tasman Sea.

The surrounding mountains, including the Remutaka and Tararua Ranges, block or deflect air masses, altering their direction and speed. This deflection contributes to the variability in atmospheric pressure.

The combination of marine and mountainous influences creates a complex weather system in Wellington, leading to frequent changes in weather patterns.
