Yonkers's location near the Hudson River and its elevation changes affect air pressure. The river's warmth keeps air pressure relatively high near the waterfront, while the hills and valleys surrounding the city create pockets of low air pressure.

In winter, low air pressure dominates, bringing snow and cold air. In spring, air pressure rises, leading to warmer and sunnier weather. Summer's high air pressure means hot and humid days, while autumn's falling air pressure brings cooler temperatures.

Yonkers's humid continental climate means big air pressure changes between winter and summer. This leads to varying weather patterns, such as snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer.
