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
Tropical pressure systems often affect Sint Maarten. Hurricanes and tropical storms bring low pressure, while nearby high-pressure systems push away clouds and create calm, sunny weather. Trade winds from the Atlantic keep pressure steady most of the year.
Geography
Sint Maarten is a small, low island surrounded by ocean. The sea cools or warms the air above it, balancing pressure. Because there are no mountains, air pressure stays about the same across the island, with only small changes between east and west sides.
Seasonal Cycles
During summer, strong sunlight warms the land and ocean, causing air to rise and pressure to drop. This helps form tropical storms and hurricanes. In winter, cooler air moves in from the north, raising pressure slightly and keeping weather more stable.
Climate Change
Climate change is slowly warming the ocean around Sint Maarten. This can lead to lower air pressure and make storms and hurricanes stronger. Rising temperatures may also cause more pressure changes throughout the year, leading to unpredictable weather patterns.
