Most volatile
- Diego Garcia: 0.49
Least volatile
- Diego Garcia: 0.49
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 British Indian Ocean Territory sits in the middle of the Indian Ocean, where huge weather systems move through. Tropical storms and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) often pass by, causing big changes in air pressure. When storms come, pressure usually drops, sometimes very quickly.
Geography
Most of the territory is open ocean with a few small islands. Water heats and cools more slowly than land, so air pressure over the ocean stays steadier than over big continents. The flat geography means no mountains to block or change the wind, so pressure differences mostly come from large weather systems, not local land shapes.
Seasonal Cycles
Seasons change air pressure patterns here. From June to September, the southeast monsoon brings steady winds and higher pressure. From December to March, the northwest monsoon arrives, often bringing lower pressure and rain. Between these monsoons, pressure can shift quickly as the winds change direction.
Climate Change
Climate change is making the ocean warmer. This can lead to lower air pressure over the sea and more frequent or stronger storms. Over time, some scientists think these changes might make pressure patterns less predictable, with more sudden shifts and extreme weather.
