Whether you're tracking pressure changes for health reasons, planning outdoor activities, or planning a fishing trip, our data is tailored to conditions in France, with detailed readings city by city.

France Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in France, 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

Over France, weather systems like the Azores High and Atlantic depressions change air pressure. When the Azores High is strong, it brings clear skies and stable weather. Atlantic depressions are low-pressure systems that bring clouds, wind, and rain. These systems move eastward, causing changes in pressure across France.

Geography

France’s geography affects how pressure systems spread. The Atlantic Ocean in the west lets in wet, low-pressure air. The Alps and Pyrenees mountains block or slow down some pressure systems. This means the south and east sometimes have different pressure patterns than the north and west.

Seasonal Cycles

Pressure cycles change through the year. In summer, high pressure from the Azores High is common, making the weather sunnier and drier. In winter, low-pressure systems from the Atlantic move in more often, causing more storms and rain. Spring and autumn show a mix of these patterns.

Climate Change

Climate change can make pressure patterns less predictable in France. Some scientists notice the Azores High staying over France for longer, causing more heatwaves and droughts. There are also more periods of strong storms from low-pressure systems. This makes French weather more extreme than before.

Places in France

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