🔍 Key Concepts

• Barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not temperature or humidity • Difference between high-pressure and low-pressure weather systems • How falling pressure versus rising pressure affects upcoming weather

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when atmospheric pressure is dropping, does that usually mean calm, clear weather or more unsettled, cloudy, possibly stormy weather? • Which type of pressure system is usually linked with fair, stable conditions, and which is linked with fronts and bad weather? • Look at the options that mention dew point—are those directly measured by a barometer, or by a different kind of instrument?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that a barometer only tells you about pressure, not temperature or humidity • Connect falling pressure with the kind of weather it usually precedes • Eliminate any choices that describe something a barometer does not measure directly
