Zimbabwe Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Zimbabwe, 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
- Zimbabwe: 0.63
- Derbyshire Township: 0.55
- Harare: 0.49
Least volatile
- Harare: 0.49
- Derbyshire Township: 0.55
- Zimbabwe: 0.63
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 Zimbabwe is shaped by big weather systems. The main ones are the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and high-pressure systems from the Indian Ocean. The ITCZ brings low pressure and rain during summer. High-pressure zones often bring dry and clear weather, especially in winter.
Geography
Geography also changes air pressure across the country. Zimbabwe has high plateaus and low-lying areas. Higher places, like the central plateau, usually have lower air pressure than valleys and lowlands. Mountains and hills can block or shift winds, which affects how pressure moves in different regions.
Seasonal Cycles
There are clear seasonal patterns in Zimbabwe’s air pressure. In summer (November to March), warmer temperatures cause the air to rise, lowering the pressure. In winter (May to August), cooler temperatures increase air pressure as the air sinks. These cycles help create Zimbabwe’s wet and dry seasons.
Climate Change
Climate change is already affecting air pressure patterns in Zimbabwe. Rising temperatures make pressure variations less predictable. Sometimes rains come later or last shorter. More extreme weather, like droughts and storms, can also happen as pressure systems become less steady.
Places in Zimbabwe
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Zimbabwe Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Zimbabwe 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.
