In meteorology (the study of weather patterns and prediction), high pressure systems generally mean "good weather" because a low pressure system is what usually forecasts a storm. The reason is this: when airs of different temperatures are mixing and a low pressure area is formed, the low pressure area acts like a drain in your bathtub: all of the surrounding material is sucked down into it. The same thing happens with air, instead of water like the bathtub, when a low-pressure system starts sucking the surronding atmosphere toward it, clouds and moisture concentrate which means that a storm is likely to happen in that area.

What do the H and L mean on a weather map?
H means high pressure and L, low pressure.
Barometer are used to predict weather because weather is related to changing what?
The weather changes in relation to the air pressure. Air molecules always travel towards low pressure where there is less force acting on them. This has an effect on the weather. Generally, high pressure means good weather and low pressure means bad weather. Barometers measure the pressure, often in Hectopascals.
How does low and high pressure affect the weather?
High pressure means there is going to be rain in that area. Low means the opposite.
What does H means on a weather map?
H means high pressure and L, low pressure.
How can you tell that the weather will be fine?
high pressure usually means good weather
What kind of weather does high air pressure cause?
High Pressure, in this case we are talking about a High Pressure System. A High Pressure System doesn't allow clouds to form, which means you can get great weather from this type of system.
What does an H mean on a weather map mean?
It means high pressure and high pressure means there will be plentiful sunshine for the area that the H is in.
