The barometric pressure in Zurich is influenced by the city's location in a valley. This leads to a unique pressure pattern. The surrounding mountains create a barrier that traps air masses.

Zurich is situated in a basin surrounded by the Swiss Alps. The nearby mountains create a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the Atlantic Ocean is blocked by the mountains.

As a result, Zurich experiences a relatively dry climate. The Alps also force warm air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation. This process influences the local weather patterns.
