Wellington's air pressure changes often due to windy weather patterns. When strong winds blow, air pressure drops. The city's geography also affects air pressure; it's surrounded by hills and the harbour.
As winds come from the Tasman Sea, they hit the hills, rising and cooling, which lowers air pressure. In contrast, when winds blow from the east, they descend, warming and increasing air pressure.
Seasonally, Wellington experiences lower air pressure in winter due to more low-pressure systems. Summer brings higher air pressure with more high-pressure systems.
Wellington has a humid subtropical oceanic climate. This climate type means air pressure changes are moderate, with no extreme highs or lows.
