Burkina Faso Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Burkina Faso, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.

Here you can see which cities experienced the biggest and smallest changes in barometric pressure today. This helps highlight areas with the most stable or unstable weather patterns.

Most volatile

Least volatile

How is it calculated?

Our volatility “beta” number is generated by an algorithm that analyzes hourly barometric pressure changes. It looks at how much the pressure fluctuates from hour to hour. A beta of 0 means no change, perfectly stable pressure. The higher the decimal value, the more variation there has been throughout the day or over a longer period.

Weather Systems

Weather systems in Burkina Faso are shaped by the movement of air masses. The dry northeast Harmattan wind blows from the Sahara during winter. In summer, moist southwest winds from the Atlantic bring rain. When these systems change, air pressure rises or falls quickly.

Geography

Geography matters because Burkina Faso is landlocked and mostly flat. No coastlines or tall mountains block the winds. This means pressure changes can spread easily across the country. Northern areas often have higher pressure because of their closeness to the dry Sahara.

Seasonal Cycles

Pressure cycles follow seasons. In winter, high pressure comes with dry, dusty Harmattan winds. In summer, low pressure forms as the land heats up. This low pressure helps pull in moist air, leading to rainstorms during the rainy season from May to October.

Climate Change

Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Warming temperatures can make pressure differences between north and south stronger or weaker. This may bring drier dry seasons, shorter rainy periods, and more sudden wind or storm events in Burkina Faso.

Places in Burkina Faso

You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Burkina Faso Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Burkina Faso to keep you informed.

Each city includes a pressure status showing whether it's currently high, normal or low, along with two volatility values: one for today and one for the full period, usually 14 days. These help you see how much the pressure is changing over time.
