Sunny, humid and barometric pressure explained
Good morning Augusta.
This morning it is clear, then partly cloudy. High of 79F. Winds from the
WNW at 5 to 15 mph.
Tonight it will be clear. Low of 55F. Winds from the WNW at 5 to 15 mph.
The readings from my own instruments are:
The humidity is 84% with a Dew Point of 68.5ºF and a wind chill of 73.6ºF.
The temperature is 73.6ºF.
We have Northeast winds between 0.0 MPH and 1.0 MPH.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.71 HPA 1006.0 and rising with a weather
graphic indicating sun.
The UV rating is 1 out of 16, sunset will be at 7:51 PM with Moon Rise at
9:30 a.m. and the moon phase is waxing crescent.
For the pilots out there, Raw Metar readings are:
METAR KAUG 101053Z AUTO 25003KT 10SM CLR 19/18 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP090
T01940183
Visibility is 10.0 miles/16.1 kilometers with overcast down to 200 ft / 60
m.
We've had 2.59 inches of rain here in the past 24 hours. At one point
yesterday I had registered a 24 hour rainfall amount of 3.36 inches. The
ground is going to be soggy for a while yet.
A short explanation of Barometric pressure.
The lowest barometric pressure I have recorded here in Augusta stood at
29.17, and that is pretty low. So what is considered "Normal" barometric
pressure? And just what is "HPA"?
What I found online to answer these questions is that Normal barometric
pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches of mercury. Any pressure reading
higher is considered higher pressure than normal, anything lower is
considered lower pressure.
In terms of meteorologists, low pressure that is significant is below 29.50"
and above 30.50" is considered significant high pressure.
Most everyone knows about Barometers and barometric pressure, but what does
"HPA mean? When I post my weather readings I will post the barometric
pressure in the same string as the HPA.
From an online source: hPa - Hectopascal Pressure Unit
Hectopascal is a 100x multiple of the Pascal which is the SI unit for
pressure. The Hectopascal is the international unit for measuring
atmospheric or barometric pressure. 1 Hectopascal equals 100 Pascals.
Due to its low value the Hectopascal is ideal for use as a measure of
atmospheric pressure and other low gas pressures such as air flow
differentials in air conditioning systems or wind tunnels.
One Hectopascal is exactly equal to One Millibar and although the scientific
community has officially adopted the Hectopascal in preference to the
Millibar, the Millibar is still used extensively throughout the world due to
the proliferation of its use historically.
