Bulgaria Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Bulgaria, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Trends Today
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.

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
Bulgaria’s air pressure is often influenced by big weather systems like the Azores High and Siberian High. Atlantic low-pressure fronts can bring storms and rain, while Mediterranean systems bring wet air from the south. These moving systems shift air pressure up or down across the country.
Geography
Mountains and the Black Sea shape how air pressure spreads. The Balkan Mountains block cold northern air, leading to higher pressure to the north and lower to the south. The Black Sea keeps nearby coastal areas a bit milder, affecting pressure compared to inland regions.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, high pressure often sits over Bulgaria because of cold air from Siberia. This brings dry, stable weather. In summer, low pressure is more common, especially during heat waves, leading to thunderstorms. Spring and fall usually show quick changes in pressure as different systems move through.
Climate Change
Climate change is causing more extreme and sudden changes in air pressure. Hotter summers mean more heat waves and intense low-pressure systems. Winters can swing between high and low pressure, making storms, cold snaps, or sudden warm spells more common than before.
Places in Bulgaria
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Bulgaria Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Bulgaria 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.
