Pressure and weather in Ormond Beach
Ormond Beach sits on Florida’s Atlantic coast in Volusia County, immediately north of Daytona Beach and split by the Halifax River between mainland and barrier island. Its barometric pressure is written largely by the tropics. From June through November, tropical systems tracking up the Florida peninsula or passing offshore produce the deepest and most sustained falls in current barometric pressure the city sees, and a storm does not need to make landfall nearby to pull the barometer down for a day or more. Outside hurricane season the pattern is calmer but not flat: winter cold fronts sweep down the peninsula every week or two, giving quick drops followed by clean, brisk rises behind them. Through the warm months the Atlantic sea breeze develops almost daily and collides with the Gulf breeze moving in from the west, firing the afternoon thunderstorms that make Central Florida one of the most lightning-prone places in the country and causing short dips in air pressure today. A barometric pressure forecast for Ormond Beach is worth close attention in the second half of the year.
What this means for you
Can barometric pressure cause headaches? Along this stretch of the Florida coast the tropical season is the clearest test, because an offshore system can hold weather pressure low for far longer than a passing front would. Using this barometric pressure forecast with a migraine tracker app like Pressure Pal lets you watch pressure change today develop hour by hour. Track barometric pressure today and get alerts when atmospheric pressure today starts to drop.
