The highest barometric pressure ever recorded on Earth was 32.01 inches, measured in Agata, U.S.S.R., on December 31, 1968. Agata is located in northern Siberia. The weather was clear and very cold at the time, with temperatures between -40° and -58°.

Answer
In modern scientific units (hectoPascals), as used by almost every Meteorological office in the world, and including the WMO, the above would be 1084 hPa. According to Wikipedia, the highest recorded atmospheric pressure, 1085.7 hPa occurred at Tonsontsengel, Mongolia, 19th December 2001. The hPa is used in meteorology instead of the kPa as it's identical to the older unit the millibar.

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 layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
Barometric pressure ground level?
Barometric pressure at ground level refers to the atmospheric pressure at the Earth's surface. It is commonly measured in units of millibars or inches of mercury and can vary due to weather conditions, altitude, and geographic location. Changes in barometric pressure can indicate approaching weather systems and have effects on human health and behavior.
What is baromatic pressure?
Hi Falling barometric pressure means the atmosphere at the barometer is becoming less heavy. It also generally means a storm of some sort is coming with inclement weather. Here's a link to use for using a barometer and clouds to forecast the weather: http://web2.iadfw.net/danb1/clouds.htm
What was the highest recorded temperature in dallol ethiopia?
The highest recorded temperature in Dallol, Ethiopia was 48.8 degrees Celsius (119.8 degrees Fahrenheit) in 2020. Dallol holds the record for the highest average temperature on Earth.
What is hurricane pressure?

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.
Is barometric pressure the same as atmospheric pressure?
Yes, barometric pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure. Both terms refer to the pressure exerted by the weight of the air in the Earth's atmosphere.
What causes barometric pressure?
Barometric pressure is caused by the weight of the air pushing down on the Earth's surface. It is influenced by factors such as temperature, altitude, and weather patterns. Changes in barometric pressure can indicate changes in weather conditions.
How does the atmosphere change the earth?
Barometric pressure,humidity,and temperature.
What causes increases in barometric pressures?
Increases in barometric pressure are usually caused by the sinking of air masses or high-pressure systems in the atmosphere. These high-pressure systems bring more air molecules closer to the Earth's surface, resulting in an increase in pressure. Additionally, changes in wind patterns and weather systems can also lead to temporary increases in barometric pressure.
What is highest and lowest measuring pressure?
The highest measured atmospheric pressure on Earth was 1,083.8 hPa recorded in Siberia. The lowest measured atmospheric pressure was 870 hPa during Typhoon Tip in 1979.
What kind of pressure do the layers surrounding earth exert?
the barometric pressure combined with the heat of the sun creates an expansion pressure which increase toward the earth's surface
What is Jupiter's average barometric pressure?
According to measurements of Viking spacecrafts the average pressure is around 0.7% of the normal pressure on the Earth, but they are large seasonal variations due to freezing of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the winter.

Why is there no barometric pressure on the moon?
The moon is much smaller than the Earth and has a weaker gravitational field. As a result, gas on the lunar surface leaks away into space, rather than forming an atmosphere. And with no atmosphere, there can be no barometric pressure.
How does barometric pressure affect arthritis symptoms?
Barometric pressure, which is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth, can affect arthritis symptoms because changes in pressure can cause joints to expand or contract, leading to increased pain and stiffness for some people with arthritis.
What layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
