  • Page 36: Weather Forecasting

    15.1 Weather Forecasting Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of bar- ometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location.
