Pressure and weather in Ontario​

Ontario sits in the western San Bernardino Valley about fifty miles east of Los Angeles, far enough inland that the marine influence thins out and the surrounding terrain takes over. Summer here is dominated by heat rather than storms: intense surface heating builds a shallow thermal low over the interior, which nudges current barometric pressure down through the afternoon on a daily cycle even when the weather map looks featureless. Autumn is the sharper season, when Santa Ana winds accelerate through Cajon Pass and the Inland Empire feels the pressure rise and the dry, gusty downslope flow more directly than the coast does. Winter delivers the year’s real drops, as Pacific frontal systems cross the valley and occasional cut-off lows stall overhead for a day or two, pulling air pressure today down slowly and holding it there. Spring is transitional and generally mild. For anyone in Ontario watching barometric pressure headaches, a barometric pressure forecast matters most from October through March, when weather pressure actually travels.

What this means for you​

Can barometric pressure cause headaches? In Ontario the answer often has two parts — the slow daily sag of the summer thermal low, and the faster autumn and winter swings. This barometric pressure forecast paired with a migraine tracker app like Pressure Pal lets you tell the two apart and see pressure change today as it develops. Track barometric pressure today and get alerts when atmospheric pressure today starts to fall.
