Malawi Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Malawi, 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

In Malawi, air pressure changes when different weather systems move through. During summer, moist winds from the Indian Ocean create low pressure. In winter, dry air from the south brings higher pressure. These systems affect rain and temperature each season.

Geography

Malawi’s geography shapes air pressure, too. The country has a high plateau, low lakeshore, and tall mountains. High-pressure air often sits over the highlands. Low pressure gathers near Lake Malawi, especially when warm air rises over the water. This mix causes local winds and changes in weather between regions.

Seasonal Cycles

There are clear seasonal pressure cycles in Malawi. From November to April, low pressure dominates because hot, humid air rises and leads to wet weather. From May to October, higher pressure takes over as cooler, dry air moves in. These cycles help cause Malawi’s wet and dry seasons.

Climate Change

Climate change is affecting air pressure trends in Malawi. Temperatures are rising, leading to stronger and longer-lasting low-pressure periods. This can make rainy seasons more intense or unpredictable. High-pressure dry spells may last longer, which can cause droughts in some areas.

Places in Malawi

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