Barometer

  • The barometer measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather.
  • As a general rule, the higher a person goes (ascent/terrain), the lower the barometric pressure will be.
  • An increase in air pressure usually signifies an improvement in the weather.
  • A decrease in air pressure usually means that bad weather is on its way.
  • The air pressure is displayed with an accuracy of 1 hPa (hectopascals).
  • The barometer can measure and display a range from 260 hPa to 1000 hPa.
