American Samoa Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in American Samoa, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
American Samoa’s air pressure gets influenced mainly by the South Pacific Convergence Zone, a big band of clouds and storms that often sits nearby. Moving weather systems, like tropical cyclones, can quickly change air pressure. High pressure means clearer skies, while low pressure brings clouds and rain.
Geography
The islands’ geography affects air pressure too. Tall islands force air to rise, making the pressure slightly lower around mountains. Flat coastal areas often have slightly higher pressure. Ocean all around helps keep the pressure more even compared to places surrounded by land.
Seasonal Cycles
During the wet season, from November to April, air pressure is usually lower because of frequent storms and warm waters. In the dry season, from May to October, pressure tends to be a bit higher, making dry weather more common. These patterns repeat every year.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Warmer oceans can lead to lower air pressure and more intense storms. Over time, this might mean more frequent or stronger storms and changes in the timing of Samoa’s wet and dry seasons.
