Christchurch sits on the Canterbury Plains between the Southern Alps and the Pacific coast, where current barometric pressure shifts as warm, gusty nor'west foehn winds give way to cold southerly changes that can drop temperature and pressure within hours. The barometric pressure forecast for Christchurch lets you compare barometric pressure today with atmospheric pressure today, follow a barometric pressure chart, and read local barometric pressure and weather pressure before a southerly buster, a nor'west gale, or a passing front reaches Canterbury.

What this means for you

Barometric pressure headaches and weather migraine can surface in Christchurch when weather pressure rises under a nor'west arch and then falls sharply as a southerly change sweeps up the coast. Does barometric pressure cause headaches? For many weather-sensitive Cantabrians, yes — the swing between nor'westers and southerlies keeps pressure moving.
