In general High Pressure promotes atmospheric stablity (clear sunny weather) and warmer temperatures, while Low Pressure promotes atmospheric instablity (storminess) and somewhat cooler temperatures.
In low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a counterclockwise direction and moves upward. This promotes cloud formation cooler temps and sometimes storms.
In high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a clockwise direction and moves downward (subsidence). This inhibits cloud formation and usually increases temperatures.

Is air pressure part of the weather?
Yes, because meteorologists use a barometer which measures atmospheric air pressure and a barometer is a weather instrument so air pressure is part of the weather
How does a barometer instrumental in predicting storms?
It can detect air pressure, which will change when nearing a storm.
Why is air pressure important to farmers?
Air pressure relates to weather conditions, and weather was very important to farmers.
Which air pressure system is generally associated with pleasant clear weather?
High air Pressure
Why are there changes in air movement air pressure and humidity?
There are changes in air movement,air pressure ,and humidity because of the weather and the condensation.
What is the weather term of how heavy the air is?
Air Pressure
Why would the air pressure be important to people who raise fruit?
Air pressure is an important factor in weather. If you use a barometer to watch how the pressure is changing you can get a pretty accurate picture of what the weather is going to do. This can be vital to a fruit grower to allow them to take action to protect crops.
Air pressure is highest when the air is?
Cool and dry. I do not completely agree with the answer above. When air has more moisture in it, it is heavier. When it is colder it is denser and heavier. Air planes have more "lift" in higher humidity and hot air is what makes balloons rise. In weather it appears that air is dry when the pressure is high...more rain when the pressure is low. That is a factor of weather patterns, not properties of air.
Is air pressure part of the weather?
Yes, because meteorologists use a barometer which measures atmospheric air pressure and a barometer is a weather instrument so air pressure is part of the weather
What is happening to weather if air pressure increases?
Usually rising air pressure means that the weather will improve.
Does air pressure affect earths weather?
It expands, rises, and becomes less dense.
Why is monitoring air pressure importaint to scientists?
To put it in laments terms air pressure plays a big factor or what kind of weather the country gets. High pressure means nice weather and blue clear skies mostly. Low pressure usually always brings rain or at least cloudy conditions.
How does a barometer instrumental in predicting storms?
It can detect air pressure, which will change when nearing a storm.
Why is air pressure important to farmers?
Air pressure relates to weather conditions, and weather was very important to farmers.
What weather instrument measures air pressure?
A barometer measures air pressure.
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
What kind of weather system is found in areas of high pressure Low air pressure?
Depending on the air pressure the weather system can be hot of cold
