Pressure and weather in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne lies on the north bank of the Tyne in northeast England, a few miles inland from the North Sea, and few places see barometric pressure change as often. The city sits downstream of the North Atlantic storm track, so through autumn and winter one depression after another sweeps in from the west, each bringing a fall in the current barometric pressure, a spell of wind and rain, and then a sharp rise as the ridge behind it builds. When the jet stream is strong, these systems can arrive every two or three days without a break. Spring and summer are quieter but rarely settled for long, and easterly winds off the cold North Sea can bring the low cloud and haar that locals know well. The Pennines to the west take some of the edge off the rainfall, but they do nothing to the pressure itself. For anyone in Newcastle prone to barometric pressure headaches, a barometric pressure forecast is a practical planning tool, because weather pressure here is almost never still.
