Malaysia Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Malaysia, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Malaysia’s air pressure changes because of two main weather systems: the Southwest Monsoon and the Northeast Monsoon. During the Southwest Monsoon (May–September), winds blow from southwest to northeast, bringing drier air and higher pressure. The Northeast Monsoon (November–March) brings moist winds and low pressure from the northeast, causing heavy rain.
Geography
Geography shapes Malaysia’s air pressure, too. The country is split by the South China Sea, with mountains blocking winds on both Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Low-lying coastal areas feel changes from the sea quickly, while inland and mountain spots have more stable pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
Seasonal pressure cycles cause regular changes through the year. During the Northeast Monsoon, low air pressure dominates over eastern and northern Malaysia, often bringing storms. When the Southwest Monsoon arrives, higher pressure is common, and the weather is calmer.
Climate Change
Climate change is affecting Malaysia’s pressure trends. Temperatures are rising, which often makes pressure patterns less predictable. Heat waves can cause unusual high or low pressure, making storms, floods, or droughts more likely. These changes mean Malaysia’s weather will become harder to forecast.
