Egypt Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Egypt, 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
- Cairo: 0.49
- Alexandria: 0.33
Least volatile
- Alexandria: 0.33
- Cairo: 0.49
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
Egypt’s air pressure changes because of different weather systems. In winter, cold air from the Mediterranean Sea brings higher pressure. In spring and early summer, the hot, dry Khamsin winds lower the pressure as they blow from the desert.
Geography
Egypt’s geography also affects air pressure. The country has deserts to the south and west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. Sea breezes from the north sometimes bring cooler air and raise air pressure along the coast, but desert areas usually have lower pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure patterns in Egypt change with the seasons. Winter months have higher air pressure, leading to cooler, calmer weather. In spring, air pressure drops. This is when dusty Khamsin winds can cause storms. Summer brings low pressure across most of the country, causing hotter and drier weather.
Climate Change
Climate change is starting to change Egypt’s air pressure patterns. Scientists notice more extreme weather with more frequent drops and rises in pressure. This leads to stronger winds, more frequent sandstorms, and unusual temperature swings. It can also make weather harder to predict.
Places in Egypt
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Egypt Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Egypt 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.
