air pressures

Barometric reading levels

Air pressures is the plural of air pressure, the force exerted by air on surfaces.

Meteorologists track air pressures across regions to predict weather patterns.

In technical contexts, different air pressures may be compared: The air pressures in the front and rear tires should match.

High and low air pressures drive wind and storms.
