Papua New Guinea Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Papua New Guinea, 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

Papua New Guinea’s air pressure changes with weather systems like the monsoon and trade winds. During the northwest monsoon (December to March), warm, moist winds from Asia bring low pressure and lots of rain. In the southeast trade wind season (May to November), drier, cooler air from Australia raises the pressure.

Geography

The geography of Papua New Guinea causes big differences in air pressure. The high mountains are cooler and often have higher pressure than the hot, humid lowlands. Valleys can trap air, leading to stable pressure zones, while the coasts feel more changes from the sea and wind.

Seasonal Cycles

Every year, pressure changes because of the wet and dry seasons. The wet season has lower pressure when warm, moist air moves in. In the dry season, cooler, stable air creates higher pressure. These cycles affect rainfall and wind direction across the country.

Climate Change

Climate change is making these air pressure patterns less predictable. Warmer oceans can make low pressure systems stronger and bring more intense rains or storms. Drier or hotter periods might last longer, shifting normal pressure cycles and changing when the wet or dry season starts.
