Libya Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Libya, 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 like the subtropical high-pressure belt and Mediterranean low-pressure systems influence air pressure in Libya. High pressure often sits over the Sahara Desert, while low pressure sometimes moves in from the north, bringing changes in wind and weather.
Geography
Libya’s geography affects how air pressure is distributed. The Sahara Desert covers most of Libya, creating large areas of high pressure. Mediterranean coastal areas have lower pressure at times because of cooler sea air meeting the warm desert air inland.
Seasonal Cycles
In summer, strong high pressure builds over the Sahara, causing very hot and dry weather. In winter, pressure lowers in the north because of Mediterranean storms, sometimes bringing rain. These seasonal changes make summers very hot and dry and winters milder, with occasional storms.
Climate Change
Climate change is causing pressure patterns to shift. High-pressure areas over the Sahara are becoming stronger and lasting longer, making heatwaves and droughts worse. Low-pressure systems bringing rain are moving or weakening, so some places in Libya get even less rain than before.
Places in Libya
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Libya Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Libya 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.
