Whether you're tracking pressure changes for health reasons, planning outdoor activities, or planning a fishing trip, our data is tailored to conditions in Malaysia, with detailed readings city by city.

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.

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

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.

Places in Malaysia

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