The Effect of Air Pressure Changes on the Weather

Air manometers is a device that reads atmospheric pressure. It uses liquid mercury to predict the weather by tracking changes in atmospheric pressure caused by the movement of warm and cold weather systems.

If you use an analog Air manometer at home, or a digital barometer on your phone in the United States, the barometer reading may be reported in inches of mercury (inHg). However, the SI unit of pressure used worldwide is the Pascal (Pa), which is approximately equal to 3386.389 times an inch. Meteorologists often use the more precise millibar (mb) to describe pressure, to the nearest 100,000 Pa.

Here's how to read barometer readings and what those readings mean in terms of changes in air pressure, and the weather you're in.

atmospheric pressure

The air surrounding the Earth creates atmospheric pressure, which is determined by the total weight of the air molecules. Higher air molecules have fewer molecules pressed down from above and experience lower pressure, while lower molecules have more force or pressure exerted on it by molecules that pack on it and are more tightly packed gathered together.

When you go up a mountain or fly very high in an airplane, the air is thinner and the pressure is lower. At a temperature of 59°F (15°C), the air pressure at sea level is equal to one atmosphere of pressure (Atm), which is the baseline reading for determining relative pressure.

Atmospheric pressure is also called atmospheric pressure because it is measured with the Air manometer. An increase in the Air manometer indicates an increase in atmospheric pressure, and a decrease in the Air manometer indicates a decrease in atmospheric pressure.

The effect of air pressure changes on the weather

Generally speaking, the Mercury Air manometer can let you know if you're going to see clear or stormy skies in the near future, or just based on small changes in atmospheric pressure.

Here are some examples of how to interpret barometric pressure readings:

When the air is dry, cool and pleasant, the Air manometer reading goes up.

Generally speaking, a rising Air manometer means better weather.

Generally speaking, a falling Air manometer means worsening weather.

When there is a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure, this usually indicates an imminent storm.

When atmospheric pressure remains stable, the weather may not change immediately.
