A typical day’s change through the year
Each date of the year has its own bar. The taller the bar, the bigger a typical day’s change around that date.
Does the pressure change a lot in Yakutsk?
Yakutsk has more days with a change of more than 10 hPa than 83 out of every 100 large cities.
Each dot stands for up to 20 cities with 100,000 people or more. The first column is much taller than shown. Cities higher than 1,000 m are left out, and so are smaller cities within 15 km of a bigger one, unless they are capitals, so that suburbs are not counted twice.
These figures come from ERA5, in which the European weather centre ECMWF rebuilds past weather from a weather model and observations, for an area about 28 km across around Yakutsk, 1991 to 2020. Each change is the difference between one day’s average pressure and the next day’s.

Is the barometer rising or falling in Yakutsk today?
Air pressure has been rising quickly since this morning. That leaves it 6 hPa higher than yesterday at this time. Over the last three hours it has gone up 2 hPa.
Has the pressure in Yakutsk changed since yesterday?

What has the pressure in Yakutsk been over the last few days?
Over the past 7 days it ran between 1014 hPa (last night) and 1025 hPa (on Monday morning). The biggest change in any 24 hours was a rise of 6 hPa, in the 24 hours ending this evening.
Is 1021 hPa high or low pressure?
Atmospheric pressure between about 1000 and 1025 hPa is ordinary at sea level. 1021 hPa is on the high side of ordinary. In Yakutsk most days average between 1000 and 1036 hPa. The last 24 hours average about 1016 hPa, within that usual range.
What is normal barometric pressure for Yakutsk?
From 1991 to 2020 the sea-level average for Yakutsk was 1015 hPa, and most days average between 1000 and 1036 hPa. It is usually highest in December and January and lowest in June and July.
When does barometric pressure change the most in Yakutsk?
In Yakutsk the changes are not limited to one season. Between 1991 and 2020, Yakutsk had about 21 days a year with a big change, of more than 10 hPa from one day to the next.
Why does my own barometer show a different number?
Usually altitude, and sometimes the instrument itself. To compare cities, pressure is corrected to sea level. The figure for Yakutsk, which stands 100 m above sea level, is in the note above: about 13 hPa below the sea-level reading. If your barometer is already set to sea level and still reads slightly differently, that is the setting on the instrument rather than the weather.
Does falling pressure mean rain?
Not by itself. Away from the tropics, falling pressure usually means a low is approaching, and lows carry the fronts that bring cloud and rain, so the two often arrive together. But a shallow fall can pass with nothing more than cloud, and rain falls under steady pressure too. The graph tells you a system is on the way, not how wet it will be. The week ahead, just above, shows the rain forecast beside the pressure.
