Greece Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Greece, 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.
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
Greece’s air pressure is influenced by nearby weather systems. In winter, low-pressure systems from the Atlantic and Mediterranean bring wind and storms. In summer, high-pressure systems from the Azores and eastern Europe cause drier, calmer weather. Occasionally, low pressure comes from North Africa, bringing hot, dusty air.
Geography
Mountains and seas shape air pressure across Greece. Mountain ranges block and redirect air, often causing lower pressures on one side and higher on the other. The many islands and long coastline mean that land heats up and cools down quicker than water, which also affects pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
Air pressure cycles change with the seasons. In winter, low pressure is more common, bringing more rain and storms. In summer, high pressure dominates, leading to sunny and dry weather. These cycles are regular, so Greeks expect hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters.
Climate Change
Climate change is shifting these pressure patterns. High-pressure periods in summer are getting longer and stronger, leading to more heatwaves. Patterns of low and high pressure in winter are less predictable, so some years bring heavier storms and rain, while others are much drier than usual.
Places in Greece
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Greece Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Greece 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.
