Niger Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Niger, 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.
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 Niger, air pressure changes are mainly shaped by two big weather systems. The Harmattan wind comes from the northeast, bringing dry air and high pressure. The West African Monsoon arrives from the southwest, bringing moist air and low pressure during rainy months.
Geography
Niger’s flat, mostly desert landscape does not block winds or change air pressure much. However, the Sahara Desert in the north often has higher pressure, while the south, closer to wetter regions, sometimes gets lower pressure during rainy seasons.
Seasonal Cycles
During the dry season, high pressure sits over Niger because of cooler, drier air from the Sahara. In the rainy season, the monsoon lowers the air pressure, especially in southern Niger, causing storms and rainfall.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. There are more sudden changes between high and low pressure, which brings more extreme weather. It may also shift the timing and strength of the wet and dry seasons.
Places in Niger
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Niger Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Niger 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.
