Senegal Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Senegal, 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
Weather systems like the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the Harmattan wind change air pressure in Senegal. In the wet season, moist winds come from the Atlantic Ocean, bringing lower air pressure. In the dry season, dry winds from the Sahara create higher air pressure over the land.
Geography
Senegal’s location next to the Atlantic Ocean and the presence of the nearby Sahara Desert affect air pressure patterns. Coastal areas usually have more stable air pressure, while inland regions closer to the desert experience greater swings between low and high pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
During the year, air pressure in Senegal shifts with the seasons. From June to October, the wet season, pressure is lower because warm, moist air moves in from the south. From November to May, the dry season, pressure is higher since cooler, dry air comes from the north.
Climate Change
Climate change is changing air pressure patterns in Senegal. Rising temperatures can cause longer or stronger periods of low or high pressure. This can make the weather less predictable, with more extreme dry or rainy seasons and new weather challenges for the region.
