Sierra Leone Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Sierra Leone, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Weather Systems
Weather systems like the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the Harmattan winds often control air pressure in Sierra Leone. The ITCZ brings heavy rain and low pressure, while the Harmattan brings drier, higher pressure from the Sahara Desert.
Geography
Sierra Leone’s landscape includes coastal plains, rainforests, and hills. The coast stays cooler and more humid, which can keep air pressure steady. Inland areas, with more hills, can have bigger differences in pressure, especially when winds change.
Seasonal Cycles
During the rainy season (May to October), air pressure is usually lower because warm, moist air rises, making clouds and storms. In the dry season (November to April), cool air from the Sahara increases air pressure, bringing dry and dusty conditions.
Climate Change
Climate change is making temperatures rise and weather patterns less predictable. This affects when and how much air pressure changes. Storms, droughts, and pressure swings may become more usual in Sierra Leone as the climate keeps changing.
