Mauritius Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Mauritius, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Mauritius is affected by different weather systems that change air pressure. In summer (November to April), tropical cyclones and low-pressure systems bring storms and strong winds. In winter (May to October), high-pressure systems from the Indian Ocean bring cool, dry weather with steady winds called trade winds.
Geography
The island’s small size and mountains shape how air pressure is distributed. The central plateau is higher, so pressure there drops faster when storms come. Coastal areas, especially to the east and southeast, get stronger winds from the Indian Ocean, causing pressure to change more quickly than inland areas.
Seasonal Cycles
Seasons greatly affect air pressure cycles. In summer, the island often has low pressure, which brings heavy rain and humid air. In winter, high-pressure systems dominate, making the weather drier, cooler, and more stable. The trade winds blow almost every day in winter, keeping pressure steady.
Climate Change
Climate change is starting to change pressure trends in Mauritius. Rising temperatures can lower average pressure over the island, leading to more intense storms or unusual weather. Scientists have noticed that some years bring more frequent or stronger cyclones, and these changes can be linked to shifting air pressure caused by a warming climate.
