Afghanistan Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Afghanistan, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Winds from the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and South Asia all bring different weather systems to Afghanistan. Storms from the west can cause sudden changes in air pressure. The Indian monsoon, though it weakens by the time it reaches Afghanistan, also affects summer pressure patterns.
Geography
Afghanistan has many mountains and valleys. High mountains block winds and trap cooler, heavier air, causing higher pressure in some places. Valleys and lowlands often have lower air pressure, especially when they get warmer than the mountains.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, very cold air sits over Central Asia, making a place of high pressure north of Afghanistan. This pushes cold, dry winds south into the country. In summer, Afghanistan heats up, creating a low-pressure area that pulls in warmer, moister air from the south, especially toward the southeast.
Climate Change
As the climate changes, summer heat waves can make low-pressure systems stronger and longer. Winters may have less high pressure if they become warmer. Drier weather in some areas and more intense storms in others are signs that air pressure patterns are shifting because of climate change.
