Switzerland Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Switzerland, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Atlantic and Mediterranean weather systems often control air pressure in Switzerland. When storms move in from the Atlantic, they bring low pressure and clouds. Calm, dry weather from the east or south is tied to high pressure, which often creates clear skies.
Geography
Switzerland’s mountains and valleys shape how air pressure spreads. In valleys, cold air can get trapped, making higher pressure at the bottom. Mountain peaks experience lower pressure because the air is thinner. Valleys and mountain slopes can have different weather at the same time.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, high pressure can settle over Europe, leading to cold, foggy weather in Swiss lowlands. In summer, low pressure passes through more often, causing thunderstorms. Spring and fall have mixed patterns as the seasons shift.
Climate Change
Climate change is affecting pressure patterns in Switzerland. Warm air holds less pressure than cold air, which can change wind and storm patterns. High-pressure heatwaves are more common and can last longer, while some storms are becoming stronger.
