That attractive barometer you got last Christmas may have seemed like an interesâ€" ting gift, and the woodgrain case certainly matches the paneling in the den; but how many times have you looked at it since you hung it up? The barometer is one of the weather fosecaster‘s simâ€" plest and most valuable inâ€" struments, but it is pracâ€" tically useless unless you know how to use it. Fortunately, a barometer seldom wears out, so blow off the dust and take a few tips from University of Guelph weatherman, Proâ€" fessor Terry Gillespie, on how to use your barometer to tell whether or not to go ahead with the picnic this afternoon or decide if toâ€" morrow will be a good day to spray the lawn. In accordance with Canaâ€" da‘s metrication program, atmospheric pressure is now reported in kilopascals (kPa), although your baro meter may be calibrated in inches of mercury, or milliâ€" bars if it was made in Europe. The calibration â€"used is really insignificant, says Prof. Gillespie, since it is the trend in pressure rather than the actual presâ€" sure reading that is imporâ€" tant as a weather indicator. on & * sgtic+ He suggests you‘ll only fully insured, clean, efficient, courteous vice, dressed in traditional attire.

As a general rule, rising pressure over a period of time indicates the approach of fair skies while falling pressure often signals a turn to less settled weather. need to check the baro meter‘s calibration once a year. You can convert the kilopascal reading from the local weather station by using one of the following formulas: kPa x 0.2953 â€" inches of mercury or kPa x 10 â€" millibars. Atmospheric pressures in Canada usually fall in the range from 98.0 to 103.0 kilopascals. With a little bit of pracâ€" tice, says Prof. Gillespie, you‘ll be able to predict the arrival of an approaching storm by watching how fast the barometric pressure is falling. A very slow decline would suggest a weather change within the next 24 hours, while a rapid decline in pressure may indicate a disturbance is only six to eight hours away. The speed at which the pressure rises will also give you some inâ€" dication of how quickly clear skies will return after a rain storm. An important ‘part of shortâ€"range weather foreâ€" RC.
