Mali Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Mali, 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
Air pressure in Mali is shaped by large weather systems, mainly the West African Monsoon and the Sahara High. The monsoon pulls moist air from the Atlantic Ocean, lowering pressure during the rainy season. The Sahara High pushes dry air south, raising pressure in the dry season.
Geography
Mali’s geography affects air pressure because it covers desert in the north and savanna in the south. The vast Sahara heats up quickly, causing low pressure zones, especially in summer. The Niger River and lower lands in the south keep pressure more stable and help the south receive more rain.
Seasonal Cycles
There are strong seasonal cycles in air pressure. In summer, hot desert air causes low pressure in the north, while the south gets lower pressure from the monsoon. In winter, dry air from the Sahara causes higher pressure over most of Mali, leading to drier weather.
Climate Change
Climate change is making air pressure patterns in Mali less predictable. Rising temperatures in the Sahara create bigger pressure differences, sometimes making storms and droughts worse. Overall, changes in pressure patterns can affect when and how much rain Mali gets each year.
Places in Mali
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Mali Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Mali 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.
