A barometer measures barometric pressure, that is, atmospheric pressure. Because air flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, rising or falling barometric pressure tells us that we should expect a change in the weather. For example, a storm is often preceded by a drop in barometric pressure. A barometer is an indispensable tool for a meteorologist, a captain of a ship, or anyone else who needs to predict the weather.
