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 else can I help you with?
What does high pressure mean in weather?
it means high pressure
What does Low pressure means for the weather?
high weather
What usually means clear weather because stable air is air is sinking?
high air pressure
What does high air pressure usually mean?
Low pressure is associated with rising air, cloudiness, and precipitation.
Why does high pressure mean good pressure?
high pressure makes good weather because the air mass rises
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 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.
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.
What kind of weather is associated with areas of high pressure?
Normally, High Pressure doesn't allow clouds to form. That means it would bring sunny weather.
