Norway Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Norway, 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
Low-pressure systems often come from the Atlantic Ocean and bring rainy, windy weather to Norway. High-pressure systems can arrive from the east and usually cause dry, calm conditions. The movement and strength of these systems control the daily and weekly changes in air pressure.
Geography
Norway’s mountains block some weather systems and make pressure patterns uneven. The western coast faces stronger low-pressure systems and more storms. The inland and eastern areas often get more stable, high-pressure conditions because the mountains act as barriers.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, high-pressure systems are more common over land, so Norway gets colder and drier weather. In summer, low-pressure systems are weaker, and high pressure brings warmer, sunnier days. Spring and autumn see more rapid weather changes as systems shift more often.
Climate Change
Climate change is making Norway’s pressure patterns less predictable. There are signs of stronger storms from the Atlantic, with more frequent shifts between high and low pressure. This can lead to heavier rain and bigger swings in temperature.
Places in Norway
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Norway Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Norway 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.
