Changes is barometric pressure have long been suspected of causing labor in pregnant women. Many scientific studies have been conducted showing that the drop in pressure before and during a storm actually "tugs" or creates a suction on the amniotic sac and can persuade it to rupture. Although some studies argue that drops in pressure have no correlation to the onset of labor in very pregnant women, I personally have experienced the onset of labor with both of my children that were no doubt due to a storm that blew in and a change in the barometric pressure.

Can the barometric pressure affect how may sides a snowflake has?
no
What causes barometric pressure?
Barometric pressure measures the weight of the air.
What causes increases in barometric pressures?
Low and high pressure systems. Obviously if you have a Low pressure system the barometric pressure will get low. High pressure causes the barometric pressure to rise.
What happens when barometric pressure increases?
When the barometric pressure rises it means calm fair weather is coming or is already occurring. When the barometric pressure falls it means foul weather is on the way such as rain and storms and clouds.
Is barometric pressure the same as atmosheric pressure?
Yes, Barometric Pressure and Atmospheric Pressure are the same thing. Except one describes what Atmospheric Pressure would be measured in.
Can the barometric pressure affect how may sides a snowflake has?
no
What change will not affect the pressure in a container?
The volume of the container is increased.
What is hurricane pressure?
The barometric pressure of the air at the center, or eye, of the hurricane. Some of the lowest barometric pressures ever recorded have occured in the eyes of hurricanes. The lowest barometric pressure ever recorded on earth was recorded at the center of the "Labor Day Hurricane" of 1935 which struck the Florida Keys.
What causes barometric pressure?
Barometric pressure measures the weight of the air.
How are blood pressure and barometric pressure associated?
blood vessels constrict according to barometric pressure

The center of a hurricane is characterized by very low what?
A hurricane has very low barometric pressure.
Does barometric pressure go up or down in tornadoes?
Barometric pressure goes down in a tornado.
What does sudden decreases in barometric pressure indicate?
A sudden decrease in barometric pressure is a sign that a storm is coming.
Is barometric pressure the same as atmosheric pressure?
Yes, Barometric Pressure and Atmospheric Pressure are the same thing. Except one describes what Atmospheric Pressure would be measured in.
Does Barometric Pressure affect arthritic conditions?
A barometer is a tool used to measure atmospheric pressure. Storms are preceded by a drop in atmospheric pressure. This change can cause joints to swell due to the decrease in pressure on them. This can be painful, especially in arthritic joints.
