That's incorrect! The air pressure on a rainy day will relatively be lower than that on a sunny day. On a sunny day the air pressure is at or around about 14.1 lbs/in^2 where as on a rainy day it will be somewhat lower at around about 13.78 lbs/in^2 or lower. The weather is determined by the elevation being above or below sea level. Hence when it rains the elevation is below sea level which results in the drop of atmospheric pressure.

When air pressure is high the weather is usually sunny and bright -- true or false?

True. High air pressure usually indicates stable, dry air which is associated with clear skies and sunny weather.

Four kinds of weather are sunny, windy, rainy, snowy.


What kind of weather does high air pressure bring?

Hot weather because the particles seperate.


When the weather is sunny and bright how is the air pressure?

When the weather is sunny and bright, air pressure tends to be higher. High pressure systems are generally associated with clear skies and calm weather conditions.


When is air pressure usually highest?

Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.


Why would you expect higher air pressure on dry day than a rainy day?

Air pressure is typically higher on a dry day because dry air is denser than humid air. In rainy conditions, the presence of water vapor in the air decreases its density, leading to lower air pressure.


What weather do you think is coming when air pressure is rising?

When air pressure is rising, generally clear and dry weather is expected. Rising pressure indicates a stable atmosphere with sinking air, which typically means calm conditions with minimal chances of precipitation.


What usually means rainy weather because moist air is rising?

This typically occurs due to low pressure systems, which cause air to rise and cool, leading to condensation and precipitation. This process can result in prolonged periods of rainfall and cloudy skies.


When air pressure is low is the weather sunny and bright?

No. Generally low pressure brings clouds and precipitation.


How does barometric pressure influence weather?

High pressure situations are generally associated with fair, sunny weather. As high pressure is an area of sinking air, and air tends to dry out as it sinks, leaving sunny skies.


Where are clouds most likely to form?

Rainy unsettled weather forms when two air fronts meet each other. One air front is usually cold air and the other has warmer air. When these air masses meet head on it is likely there will be a thunderstorm.


What will the weather be like when air pressure is rising?

When air pressure is rising, it means that a high pressure area is coming in your direction. High pressure areas tend to bring very sunny and calm weather so the weather should improve when the air pressure is rising
