Gibraltar Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Gibraltar, 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.
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
Weather systems from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea affect pressure in Gibraltar. Low-pressure systems bring clouds and rain from the west. High-pressure systems from the Mediterranean or North Africa often cause clear skies and dry weather. These shifting systems make air pressure change quickly.
Geography
Gibraltar’s geography shapes pressure patterns. The famous Rock of Gibraltar and nearby mountains can block or guide winds. This creates differences in air pressure from one side of the city to the other. Narrow sea passages also speed up winds and change how pressure is felt locally.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure changes throughout the year in Gibraltar. In winter, low-pressure systems come more often, leading to more storms. In summer, high pressure sits over the region and keeps the weather dry and hot. These patterns happen every year but can vary in strength.
Climate Change
Climate change is making air pressure trends less predictable. Heat waves linked to stubborn high-pressure systems are becoming more common. Sudden storms related to fast-moving low-pressure areas also seem to happen more often. These changes can make the weather in Gibraltar less stable than before.
