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.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.
