How does change in the air pressure affect weather?

Answer 1

Generally with high surface pressure, there is sinking air and clear skies. With low surface pressure there is rising air with clouds and precipitation given sufficient moisture.

Answer 2

A high pressure means no cloud. This is because the high pressure will be pushing out into the lows not allowing cloud cover in.

A high pressure is caused by the ground heating and then the warm air rising.

then low pressure is the opposite.

In the summer a high means lots of warm weather whereas in the winter it will mean bitter colds and frosty mornings.

Answer 3

Air flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas :

thus wind,

which will pick up water vapor (if possible) and carry it toward the low pressure areas

Thus lows are often "stormy" while highs are clear.

Answer 4

The pressure of the air is divided into highs and lows. The air masses move from the high pressure to the low pressure picking up water with it as it travels. As a result once it gets to the low pressure area it is usually full of water and as a result stormy weather occurs.

Answer 5

Changes in air pressure can indicate shifts in the weather. High pressure typically brings fair weather due to sinking air, while low pressure can lead to clouds and precipitation as rising air cools and condenses. Sudden drops in pressure may signal an approaching storm, while a rise in pressure usually indicates improving weather conditions.

Answer 6

Air pressure does effect our weather. When the pressure is really high, you can expect sunny and more of the warmer days. If the pressure is low, the weather could be rainy and even cloudy.

Answer 7

the warmth of the sun heats the Earth surface and that heat bounce off

Answer 8

Low pressure fronts lead to cold weather and high pressure leads to heat waves. When two air fronts of both low and high pressure combine it can lead to big storms.
