Weather watchers

Hi THere.

I have enviro-can on speed dial. I love hiking and one of the most important items I track is the changing trend in the barometric pressure. When it starts to swing up you will start to see improved weather regardless of other factors. THis seems to be pretty accurate and along with tracking how the usual suspects change like: cloud cover, temperature, and rain probability, I get pretty good prediction accuracy. Higher pressures above 101.325kPa and increasing pressure trends indicate clear skies and cloud dispersion. Clouds form as pressure drops. Just like jet contrails that form on the lower pressure air coming off a wing or fuselage. It's all the same.
