Ethiopia Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Ethiopia, 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

Ethiopia’s air pressure is shaped by big weather systems like the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and monsoon winds. The ITCZ brings rain when it moves north over Ethiopia, causing air to rise and pressure to drop. Monsoon winds bring moist air from the Indian Ocean, also lowering pressure.

Geography

Mountains and plateaus in Ethiopia affect how air pressure spreads. High places, like the Ethiopian Highlands, normally have lower air pressure than lowlands. Valleys and plains get higher pressure because air is heavier at lower altitudes. This mix of high and low land shapes how pressure patterns change from place to place.

Seasonal Cycles

Seasons change Ethiopia’s air pressure a lot. During summer, the ITCZ and monsoon come north, making pressure drop and bringing rain. In winter, dry winds from the northeast push the ITCZ south, raising pressure and making the weather drier. Pressure rises and falls in a yearly cycle because of these changing winds.

Climate Change

Climate change affects air pressure trends in Ethiopia. Rising temperatures can shift wind patterns and move the ITCZ, leading to unusual pressure changes. Sometimes this causes more extreme weather, like sudden droughts or heavy rains. Scientists watch these pressure changes to predict future climate problems.

Places in Ethiopia

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