A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It's especially useful for predicting the weather. Here's how it works in practice:

  • High air pressure usually means good and clear weather.
  • Low air pressure often means that rain, clouds or storms are on the way.

Barometers are used by meteorologists, but also by sailors, hikers and others who need to keep an eye on the weather.

There are different types of barometers, such as

  • Mercury barometer - the classic type, invented in the 1600s.
  • Aneroid barometer - more compact and without liquid, often used in home barometers.
