Svalbard and Jan Mayen Barometric Pressure Map

Depending on how many places we monitor in Svalbard and Jan Mayen, 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

Low-pressure systems often come from the Atlantic Ocean and move toward Svalbard and Jan Mayen. These systems bring storms, clouds, and strong winds. High-pressure areas sometimes arrive from the north or east, bringing clearer skies and calmer weather.

Geography

Both Svalbard and Jan Mayen are islands in the Arctic Ocean. Svalbard is closer to the polar ice, which keeps air pressure higher and colder there. Jan Mayen faces the open North Atlantic, so it gets more low-pressure systems and weather changes.

Seasonal Cycles

In winter, cold air causes higher pressure over Svalbard, while Jan Mayen gets more storms and low pressure from the sea. In summer, warmer temperatures lower the pressure over the Arctic, and both islands can get more unsettled and changing weather.

Climate Change

Climate change is making Arctic air warmer, melting sea ice, and shifting storm tracks. This causes more low-pressure systems to reach Svalbard and Jan Mayen, bringing more stormy weather and faster changes in air pressure than before.
