An isobar is a line that
connects points on a map that have equal pressure. These isobars are
represented by the solid blue contour that you can see on the map above. This
map also shows that the pressure is lower in the north east and north was parts
of the country compared to the rest of the country. High pressure indicates
that the weather is fair and sunny because are tends to dry out. Low pressure
indicates that the weather is cloudy and rainy, these situations bring the
stormiest weather because the area rises and then condenses into clouds and
rain. Also since the air is moving from higher pressure to lower it can result
in windy conditions as air rushes between the two.
