Finland Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Finland, 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.

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
Finland’s air pressure changes because of big weather systems moving over Europe. Cyclones, or low-pressure systems, often come from the Atlantic Ocean, bringing clouds and rain. High-pressure systems can come from Russia, making the weather clear and calm. Finland is usually between these two systems, so the pressure changes often.
Geography
Finland’s geography affects air pressure. The country is flat with lots of lakes and forests. There are no high mountains to block or guide air movement, so weather systems from the Atlantic and Russia can spread easily across the whole country. The Baltic Sea near the south affects southern Finland’s pressure more than the north.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure patterns in Finland change with the seasons. In winter, high pressure often builds over Russia, bringing cold, dry air into Finland. In summer, low pressure from the Atlantic is more common, so Finland gets more clouds and rain. Spring and autumn have fast-changing pressure because different air masses meet.
Climate Change
Climate change can change air pressure patterns in Finland. Warmer Arctic temperatures can weaken the difference between high and low pressure. This might make weather systems move more slowly, causing longer periods of the same weather—like longer rainy or dry spells.
Places in Finland
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Finland Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Finland 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.
