Norfolk Island Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Norfolk Island, 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
Norfolk Island’s air pressure is mainly shaped by moving weather systems. High-pressure systems, called anticyclones, often bring clear skies and calm winds. Low-pressure systems, like those from passing fronts and subtropical storms, can cause clouds, wind, and rain. The island is affected by both tropical and temperate weather systems.
Geography
The island’s small size and hilly terrain do not create big differences in air pressure across the island itself. However, its location in the southwest Pacific Ocean means it is exposed to wide, open ocean winds. This makes the island’s pressure patterns more like the surrounding ocean than large landmasses.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure changes with the seasons. During summer, high-pressure systems from the subtropics are common, bringing settled weather. In winter, low-pressure systems and fronts from the Southern Ocean become more frequent, leading to windier and wetter days. These seasonal shifts control the main changes in air pressure year-round.
Climate Change
Climate change may cause some long-term shifts in pressure on Norfolk Island. Scientists expect subtropical high-pressure zones to expand and move. This could bring more frequent high-pressure days and longer dry spells. There may also be more intense storms, which could mean sharper drops and rises in pressure during extreme events.
Places in Norfolk Island
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Norfolk Island Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Norfolk Island 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.
