This pressure changes with altitude, weather systems, and temperature shifts. On clear days, barometric pressure tends to be higher, while it drops before storms or during rainy weather.

Besides a pressure change, with increasing altitude you also get decreasing vapor pressure and temperature. But that's not always a given since the high desert gets plenty warm in the summertime.

Pressure cooking will still save time, energy and money, but here’s the high-altitude rule: For every 1,000 feet above 2,000-foot elevation, you must increase cooking time by 5 percent.

Changes in barometric pressure can induce headaches, ... As the pressure changes with the altitude on takeoff, you might experience ear popping or pain from that change.

But they all have one thing in common: a change in air pressure. ... Because Earth rotates, these upper-altitude winds blow from west to east.

Some people experience high-altitude headaches due to changes in barometric pressure, such as during plane travel. Others, who experience migraine headaches or tension-type headaches, find that ...

This is also true for a change in altitude, where atmospheric pressure drops the higher you climb, causing the pressure in your car's tires to go up ever so slightly.

Outside the body, air pressure may change with altitude changes, while depth changes alter hydrostatic pressure in water. ... but a rapid change of pressure in the ear can put the eardrum at risk.
