United Arab Emirates Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in United Arab Emirates, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
The United Arab Emirates’ air pressure is shaped mostly by high-pressure systems from dry deserts and low-pressure systems from nearby seas. In winter, pressure rises with cool, stable air from northwest, sometimes bringing dusty winds called “shamal.” In summer, low pressure develops over land as intense sunlight heats the ground, drawing humid air from the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.
Geography
Mountains in the east, like the Hajar range, block some winds and trap cooler air near higher ground, making pressure higher than on the flat coastline. Open deserts in the west allow pressure to change quickly, especially during hot days and cool nights.
Seasonal Cycles
Each year, air pressure in the UAE drops in summer and rises in winter. This cycle controls when winds blow and when it rains, although rain is always scarce. Summer low pressure helps trigger hot, dry storms and brings moist sea air inland, while winter high pressure brings calmer, cooler weather.
Climate Change
Climate change is causing more extreme heat in the UAE. This means summer low-pressure areas may get stronger and last longer. Sea air can move farther inland, raising humidity. Sudden pressure shifts may also cause more intense storms, affecting air quality and comfort in cities.
