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
Air pressure in the Turks and Caicos Islands is mainly affected by the Bermuda High, a powerful weather system over the Atlantic Ocean. This high-pressure system brings steady winds called trade winds. Sometimes, low-pressure systems like tropical storms and hurricanes pass nearby, causing sudden drops in air pressure.
Geography
The islands are low and flat, so there are not many hills or mountains to change how air pressure spreads. Wind can move freely across the area. This means air pressure is usually similar everywhere on the islands. Only temporary weather events, like passing storms, cause quick local changes in pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
During summer, air pressure is lower because the land and sea are warmer. This makes it easier for storms and hurricanes to form. In winter, air pressure goes up as cooler, drier air moves in from the north. These seasonal changes affect how often storms or dry weather happen.
Climate Change
Climate change is making ocean and air temperatures warmer. This can change where and how often high and low-pressure systems form. It may cause stronger and more frequent storms, leading to faster changes in air pressure and more intense weather in the future.
