Whether you're tracking pressure changes for health reasons, planning outdoor activities, or planning a fishing trip, our data is tailored to conditions in Lesotho, with detailed readings city by city.

Lesotho Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Lesotho, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.

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

Lesotho’s air pressure is mostly influenced by systems like the South Atlantic high and Indian Ocean high. Sometimes, cold fronts from the south reach Lesotho, causing sudden changes in air pressure and storms, especially in winter. Thunderstorms in summer come with rapid local variations in pressure.

Geography

Lesotho’s high altitude means the air is thinner, so the pressure is lower than at sea level. The mountains create uneven pressure patterns, making the wind stronger in valleys and passes. Sheltered areas may keep more stable air pressure, while exposed ridges experience frequent shifts.

Seasonal Cycles

Pressure changes with the seasons. In summer, warm, rising air lowers the pressure, bringing clouds and rain. In winter, cold, dense air settles over the highlands, creating high pressure and clear skies. Sudden winter cold fronts quickly raise or drop the pressure, making the weather unpredictable.

Climate Change

Climate change affects air pressure trends by warming the region. Hotter air rises more, which may lower average pressure over time, and shift wind patterns. More frequent heat waves and intense storms also show changing patterns in pressure, making Lesotho’s weather less predictable than before.

Places in Lesotho

You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Lesotho Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Lesotho 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.
