Benin Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Benin, 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.
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
Benin’s air pressure is influenced by two main weather systems. The Harmattan brings dry, dusty air from the Sahara during winter, leading to higher pressure. During summer, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean pushes north, lowering the pressure, especially in the south.
Geography
Geography affects air pressure because Benin is long and narrow, stretching from the coast to the north. The south, near the sea, feels more ocean winds and has lower pressure. The northern inland areas are drier and tend to have higher air pressure, especially when the Harmattan blows.
Seasonal Cycles
Seasonal changes in Benin create pressure cycles. In the dry season (November to March), the Harmattan raises pressure and makes the air dry. In the rainy season (April to October), winds from the Atlantic lower pressure, bringing wet, humid weather.
Climate Change
Climate change is changing pressure patterns in Benin. Rising global temperatures can increase extreme weather, making pressure shifts stronger. This can bring heavier rains or longer dry spells, as pressure systems become less predictable and seasons can shift.
Places in Benin
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Benin Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Benin 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.
