What is the atmospheric pressure like in Denver?

There is not a straight answer to this question because of weather conditions. That said with Denver at 5,280 feet, the average is around .82 Atmospheres (with Sea level = 1). read more

These are all sea level readings. So we need an average, or normal. The standard is a barometer of 29.92 which equates to about 14.7 PSI, again being a sea level reading. With that standard the pressure at Denver is 12.1 PSI or a barometer of about 24.63. At this pressure water boils at about 202F instead of 212F. read more

The true atmospheric pressure if you set the altimeter on a standard day will be 24.82” Hg, compared to Sea Level which is 29.92” Hg. Therefore the pressure is 5.10” Hg less; the air is considerably thinner. read more

Atmospheric pressure decreases exponentially with altitude. At 5,280 feet above sea level, which is the altitude of Denver, Colorado the average atmospheric pressure is normally only 52 % of sea levels. read more

The higher up we go, the less air pressure we will encounter. For example, Denver, Colorado is about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) above sea level. The atmospheric pressure of Denver drops to 0.85 kilograms per square centimeter (12 pounds per square inch) at this altitude. read more
