Of all the weather elements measured by sensors at airports, atmospheric pressure is perhaps the most underappreciated, but ...

Barometric pressure is the amount of pressure the air is pushing onto your body. Changes in barometric pressure can cause headaches or pain. If you have ever had a severe headache or migraine episode, ...

Pressure altitude is an aircraft's height above a theoretical "standard datum plane," defined by specific atmospheric conditions (29.92 inHg pressure, 15°C at sea level). It is a critical metric for ...

Put Mt. Everest (28 deg North) at the latitude of Mt. McKinley (63 deg North) in the United States and it is likely that no climber would ever have been able to reach the summit breathing the natural ...

A system of low atmospheric pressure brewing in the northwestern Caribbean Sea is all but certain to become a tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico over the next 48 hours — but neither Houston nor ...

Barometric pressure sensors measure atmospheric pressure in a variety of applications, providing crucial data for weather forecasting, altitude measurement, and environmental monitoring. In the field ...

This blog is a follow up to my previous post on world barometric pressure records. In this case the highest rather than the lowest such. This post completes my recent series on pressure records.

In light of my previous blog on record extra-tropical cyclones, I thought I would follow up with a brief survey of world barometric pressure records (both high and low) in this blog just the low ...
