Whether you're tracking pressure changes for health reasons, planning outdoor activities, or planning a fishing trip, our data is tailored to conditions in Switzerland, with detailed readings city by city.

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.

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

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.

Places in Switzerland

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