Pressure graph: the past week and the week ahead
The shaded part shows the days already gone. The thicker line is the forecast. The thin dotted line is the average over a whole day, so you can see where pressure is heading under the daily up and down.
Kwekwe has a strong daily rhythm: pressure rises and falls about 7 hPa every day, highest around 08:00 and 23:00 and lowest around 16:00. That wave is most of what the graph shows within a day, so the change since yesterday tells you more here than the change over the past few hours.
Kwekwe sits 1,203 m above sea level, so a barometer in the city reads about 126 hPa lower than the sea-level figure. A home station set to the local reading should show about 888 hPa as of 14:00.

More about air pressure
What we have written about how pressure behaves and how it is measured.
Where air pressure changes the most, city by city
Thirty years of data, ranked by city: where air pressure swings most from day to day and where it hardly moves. London, New York, Tokyo and 128 more.
How much does air pressure change in a day?
A normal day moves the barometer about 4 hPa in London and half of one in Singapore. What counts as a big drop, and how often one comes.
Why barometric pressure deserved its own site
Air pressure is the weather number people ask about most and understand least: is it high, is it rising or falling, does it matter today.

Questions about the pressure in Kwekwe
What is the barometer reading in Kwekwe right now?
Sea-level pressure in Kwekwe is 1014 hPa as of 14:00 local time, down 4 hPa over the last three hours, the usual daily fall at this hour. A barometer in the city itself, 1,203 m up, shows about 888 hPa.
Is the barometer rising or falling in Kwekwe today?
Beyond the daily ups and downs, pressure has hardly changed over the last 24 hours. It reads the same as this time yesterday. Over the last three hours it has gone down 4 hPa, the usual daily fall at this hour.
Has the pressure in Kwekwe changed since yesterday?
No. At this time yesterday it read 1014 hPa, the same as now.
What has the pressure in Kwekwe been over the last few days?
Over the past 7 days it ran between 1013 hPa (on Tuesday afternoon) and 1021 hPa (on Sunday morning). The biggest change in any 24 hours was a fall of 2 hPa, in the 24 hours ending on Monday afternoon. Before today, each day's average was between 1016 and 1019 hPa.
Is 1014 hPa high or low pressure?
Atmospheric pressure between about 1000 and 1025 hPa is ordinary at sea level. 1014 hPa sits in the middle of that range.
What is a normal barometric pressure?
Near 1013 hPa at sea level; the exact standard figure, 1013.25 hPa, is the same as 760 mmHg, 29.92 inHg or 101.3 kPa. Anything between roughly 1000 and 1025 hPa is ordinary. Which way it is going matters far more than the number itself.
Why does my own barometer show a different number?
Usually altitude, and sometimes the instrument itself. To compare cities, pressure is corrected to sea level. The figure for Kwekwe, which stands 1,203 m above sea level, is in the note above: about 126 hPa below the sea-level reading. If your barometer is already set to sea level and still reads slightly differently, that is the setting on the instrument rather than the weather.
Does falling pressure mean rain?
Not by itself. Away from the tropics, falling pressure usually means a low is approaching, and lows carry the fronts that bring cloud and rain, so the two often arrive together. But a shallow fall can pass with nothing more than cloud, and rain falls under steady pressure too. The graph tells you a system is on the way, not how wet it will be. The week ahead, just above, shows the rain forecast beside the pressure.
