Frequently asked questions
What is the barometric pressure in Oviedo today?
The live reading at the top of this page is the latest sea-level pressure reported by Aviles/Asturias Arpt (LEAS), 28 km (17 mi) from the city center. It updates about every 10 minutes; the graph shows the last 24 hours.
What is normal barometric pressure in Oviedo?

Why does a barometer in Oviedo read lower than the forecast?
Oviedo is close to sea level (about 778 ft), so absolute and sea-level pressure differ by only about 0.83 inHg (28 hPa). A larger gap usually means the barometer needs to be calibrated against the reading on this page.
