Thailand Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Thailand, 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
Thailand’s air pressure is influenced by big weather systems. The main ones are the Southwest Monsoon and the Northeast Monsoon. The Southwest Monsoon brings warm, moist air from the Indian Ocean, lowering pressure. The Northeast Monsoon brings cool, dry air from China, usually raising pressure over Thailand.
Geography
Geography affects how pressure is spread across the country. Northern Thailand has mountains that block cold winds and change pressure patterns. Flat regions in central and southern Thailand allow air to move more easily, which can lead to faster changes in pressure.
Seasonal Cycles
Thailand has seasonal pressure cycles. From May to October, the Southwest Monsoon causes lower pressure and heavy rain. From November to February, the Northeast Monsoon creates higher pressure, making air cooler and drier. The transitions between monsoons cause quick shifts in air pressure.
Climate Change
Climate change is making pressure patterns less predictable. Temperatures are rising, which weakens some pressure differences. This can change when monsoons start and how strong they are. Sometimes, pressure changes can also cause more storms and unusual weather across Thailand.
Places in Thailand
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Thailand Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Thailand to keep you informed.
Each city includes a pressure status showing whether it's currently high, normal or low, along with two volatility values: one for today and one for the full period, usually 14 days. These help you see how much the pressure is changing over time.
