Nepal Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Nepal, 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
Nepal’s air pressure is shaped by big weather systems, like the South Asian monsoon and western disturbances. The summer monsoon brings low pressure from June to September, pulling moist air from the south. In winter, high pressure over Tibet pushes cool, dry winds toward Nepal.
Geography
Nepal’s geography changes air pressure patterns. The flat southern plains, called the Terai, often have higher pressure than the steep hills and high mountains. As air rises over the tall Himalayas, pressure drops quickly. The mountain valleys trap some air, sometimes making pressure differences stronger.
Seasonal Cycles
Seasons change air pressure throughout the year. In summer, hot temperatures lower the pressure, helping bring in heavy rains from the monsoon. In winter, cold air from the north raises pressure, making the weather drier and cooler, especially in the hills and mountains.
Climate Change
Climate change is shifting air pressure patterns in Nepal. Warming temperatures can mean lower pressure in some places. This might lead to stronger storms, unpredictable rainfall, or faster snow and glacier melt in the mountains. The usual season cycles are starting to change as well.
Places in Nepal
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Nepal Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Nepal 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.
