North Korea Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in North Korea, 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
North Korea’s air pressure is shaped by nearby weather systems, mainly from Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. In winter, high-pressure systems from Siberia push cold, dry air over North Korea. In summer, low-pressure systems from the Pacific bring warmer, wetter air and sometimes typhoons.
Geography
Mountains run through much of North Korea and block or steer winds. The western plains get more consistent air pressure because they’re open to the Yellow Sea. Mountainous areas in the north and east force air upward, causing uneven pressure across the country.
Seasonal Cycles
Air pressure cycles change with the seasons. In winter, strong high pressure sits over the land, keeping skies clear but temperatures very cold. In summer, low pressure dominates because warm air rises, leading to clouds and heavier rain, especially during the rainy season.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Winters may have weaker high-pressure systems, making them warmer. Summers could see more intense low-pressure systems, which may mean stronger storms and heavier rain than in the past.
Places in North Korea
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the North Korea Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in North Korea 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.
