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

Nigeria Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Nigeria, 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

Nigeria’s air pressure is shaped by two main weather systems: the dry, cool Harmattan wind from the northeast and the moist, warm southwest monsoon from the Atlantic Ocean. These systems push air masses with different pressures across the country at different times of the year.

Geography

Nigeria’s geography affects how pressure changes from place to place. The country’s coastline meets warm ocean air, bringing low air pressure in the south. The north lies near the Sahara Desert, where it is hotter and drier, with higher air pressure most of the year.

Seasonal Cycles

Air pressure in Nigeria changes with the seasons. In the dry season (November to March), the Harmattan brings higher pressure from the north and clearer skies. In the rainy season (April to October), humid air from the ocean creates lower pressure in the south, leading to rain.

Climate Change

Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Temperatures are rising, so the difference in pressure between northern and southern Nigeria might become smaller. This could change the timing and strength of the rain and dry seasons, making weather harder to forecast.

Places in Nigeria

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