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.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.
