Characteristic of the pressure tendency

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004257

A qualitative description of how atmospheric pressure has changed over a recent period, typically the past three hours, and its current trend. This information is encoded using specific codes in surface weather observations to indicate whether pressure has risen, fallen, or remained steady, and the nature of that change. It provides insight into the movement of weather systems, such as the approach of a front or a high-pressure system.
