Default Very basic question about barometric pressure

with a lot of accumulated wisdom of same, and sometime I'd like to have
a go at writing some of it up (but don't expect rapid results).

I have some simple 'rules' which couple the rise or fall of barometer
reading with season and wind-direction. They are not my original work -
having been cribbed from somewhere about 30-odd years ago, and as others
will point out, such 'rules' abounded in the pre-computer age.


It may be worthwhile having something like this in the FAQ.
