Cameroon Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Cameroon, 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
In Cameroon, air pressure is mostly controlled by weather systems like the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and trade winds. The ITCZ is a zone where winds from the north and south meet. It moves north and south during the year, causing big changes in air pressure and bringing rainstorms.
Geography
Cameroon’s geography also affects air pressure. The country has mountains, high plateaus, and coastal lowlands. In higher places, like the Cameroon Highlands, air pressure is lower than in low-lying areas. The coast, close to the Atlantic Ocean, usually has higher pressure compared to the interior and mountainous regions.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure in Cameroon changes with the seasons. During the wet season, the ITCZ moves north, and air pressure in the south drops, bringing lots of rain. In the dry season, the ITCZ moves south, and northern winds called harmattan bring dry air and slightly higher air pressure, especially in the north.
Climate Change
Climate change is changing air pressure patterns in Cameroon. Warmer global temperatures make the ITCZ move differently and can cause longer or more unpredictable rainy and dry seasons. This can mean stronger storms or longer droughts as the usual pressure cycles are disrupted.
Places in Cameroon
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Cameroon Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Cameroon 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.
