Malta Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Malta, 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

Malta’s air pressure is influenced most by two main weather systems: the high-pressure system from the Azores and the low-pressure systems over the Mediterranean and North Africa. When these systems shift, Malta gets different weather, such as storms or calm, dry days.

Geography

Malta is a small island surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Its location means sea air has a big effect on air pressure. The open sea allows winds and pressure systems to move freely, so there are fewer barriers to block changes in pressure.

Seasonal Cycles

In winter, low pressure often comes from the west or north, bringing wetter, windier weather. In summer, high pressure from the Azores dominates, causing dry and sunny weather. These cycles mean Malta’s air pressure is higher and steadier in summer and lower and changeable in winter.

Climate Change

Climate change has begun to affect Malta’s pressure patterns. Hotter temperatures can make high-pressure periods longer and stronger, especially in summer. Storms from low-pressure systems may become less predictable, with sudden changes and more extreme weather events.

Places in Malta

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