The bar graph indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 12 hours in 7 intervals: 0h, -3h, -6h, -9h and -12h. The “0h” represents the current full hour air pressure recording. The columns represent the “hPa” (0, ±1, ±3, ±5) at specific time. The “0” in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (±1, ±3, ±5) represents how high or low in “hPa“...
