Colombia Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Colombia, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Large weather systems like the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) move over Colombia. When the ITCZ is overhead, rising warm air creates low pressure and brings clouds and rain. Sometimes, cold air from the south or warm air from the Caribbean also changes local air pressure.
Geography
Colombia has mountains, valleys, and lowlands. Air pressure is lower in the Andes mountains because there is less air above you. In lowland areas like the Amazon and coastal regions, air pressure is higher. These differences in height create many local wind and weather patterns.
Seasonal Cycles
During the year, pressure changes with the seasons. When the sun is north of the equator, Colombia's northern regions get lower pressure and more rain. When the sun moves south, the Amazon region gets more storms and low pressure while the north dries out.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less regular. Warming temperatures can shift the ITCZ and change when and where low pressure happens. This means some places may get more storms or longer dry periods than before. Scientists are still studying these trends.
