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
The United Kingdom often gets weather from the Atlantic Ocean and Europe. Low-pressure systems, called depressions, usually move in from the west, bringing rain and wind. High-pressure systems can come from the east or south, making the weather calmer and drier.
Geography
Mountains in Scotland, Wales, and northern England can affect pressure. High ground blocks or slows some weather systems. The west coast, facing the Atlantic, gets more low pressure and storms. Inland and eastern areas can have higher pressure and more settled weather.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, low pressure is common, bringing clouds and rain. In summer, high-pressure systems visit more often, causing warm and dry spells. However, these patterns can change quickly, so UK weather is unpredictable.
Climate Change
Climate change is shifting pressure patterns. Stronger and more frequent depressions can bring heavier rain and storms. Summers may have longer high-pressure spells, leading to heatwaves and droughts. Pressure trends keep changing as the climate warms.
