Mozambique Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Mozambique, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Trends Today
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
- Maputo: 0.62
- Mozambique: 0.55
Least volatile
- Mozambique: 0.55
- Maputo: 0.62
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
Air pressure patterns in Mozambique are shaped by large weather systems. During summer, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) brings warm, moist air from the north, causing low pressure, clouds, and rain. In winter, dry, cooler air from the south increases pressure and brings clear skies.
Geography
Mozambique’s geography affects air pressure in several ways. The Indian Ocean to the east allows moist air to move inland, lowering air pressure near the coast. The highlands in the west and northwest create areas of higher pressure because air gets cooler and denser as it moves uphill.
Seasonal Cycles
Mozambique has seasonal cycles in air pressure. From November to March, low pressure dominates due to the hot, rainy season and cyclones. From April to September, stronger high pressure builds up, especially inland, as cooler, dry winds move from the south.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Warmer ocean temperatures can lead to stronger storms and more extreme changes in pressure. Rainy seasons might start earlier or later, and high-pressure periods could become longer or shorter, affecting weather across the country.
Places in Mozambique
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Mozambique Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Mozambique 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.
