barometric
Relating to air-pressure
Barometric relates to atmospheric pressure as measured by a barometer: barometric pressure, barometric readings.
Weather forecasts rely on barometric data to predict storms and fair weather.
Figuratively, barometric can describe anything that serves as an indicator or gauge: a barometric reading of public sentiment.
