Remember to bring an umbrella with you on low pressure days because those clouds might cause rain or other types of precipitation. When air pressure is low, air flows together and then upward where it converges, rising, cooling, and forming clouds. The high pressure causes air to flow down and fan out when it gets near the ground, preventing clouds from forming. Typically, when air pressure is high their skies are clear and blue. Air pressure is caused by the weight of the huge numbers of air molecules that make up the atmosphere. The weather events happening in an area are controlled by changes in air pressure. Most weather happens in the troposphere, the part of Earth’s atmosphere that is closest to the ground. Weather is different in different parts of the world and changes over minutes, hours, days and weeks. Weather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere.
