Tokelau Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Tokelau, 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
Tokelau’s air pressure is affected mostly by weather systems like the trade winds and the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ). Trade winds blow from east to west, bringing steady weather, while the SPCZ creates cloudy, rainy conditions when it shifts near Tokelau.
Geography
Tokelau is made up of small, low-lying coral atolls. These tiny islands do not create their own air pressure systems. Instead, the open ocean around them means pressure changes come quickly with passing weather systems and are mostly even across the islands.
Seasonal Cycles
During the year, air pressure is higher between May and October. This is Tokelau’s dry season, with stronger trade winds and more stable weather. From November to April, pressure drops a bit as the wet season brings warmer, rising air and more storms from the SPCZ.
Climate Change
Climate change is making Tokelau’s weather less predictable. Ocean warming can shift wind belts and weather zones, causing pressure patterns to change. This can mean more intense or longer periods of rain and storms, and less reliable dry seasons.
