Taiwan Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Taiwan, 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.
Most volatile
- Taichung: 0.47
- Taipei: 0.47
- Kaohsiung City: 0.4
- Tainan City: 0.39
Least volatile
- Tainan City: 0.39
- Kaohsiung City: 0.4
- Taichung: 0.47
- Taipei: 0.47
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
Taiwan’s air pressure is influenced by big weather systems like the Siberian High in winter and the Pacific High in summer. Typhoons, which are intense storms, also cause quick pressure drops when they pass by or over the island.
Geography
Taiwan’s mountains split the island, making big differences in air pressure. Eastern areas are blocked by tall peaks, so weather and pressure can be very different from the west side. Coastal regions usually have steadier pressure compared to mountain valleys where it can change faster.
Seasonal Cycles
In winter, strong high pressure from the north brings cold, dry air, which makes the pressure higher. In summer, the Pacific High takes over, bringing hot, moist air and lower pressure. Typhoon season has sharp pressure drops as storms approach.
Climate Change
Climate change makes pressure patterns less predictable. Warmer ocean water changes the strength and movement of pressure systems. Some scientists notice more sudden drops in pressure and shifts in typhoon paths, making weather harder to forecast.
Places in Taiwan
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Taiwan Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Taiwan 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.
