Summary:
- Very Low Pressure The weather typically becomes unsettled with cloudy skies, rainfall or snowfall, and stronger winds. In extreme cases, very low pressure can produce severe thunderstorms, heavy flooding, or even tropical cyclones.
- Very High Pressure The weather typically remains calm with clear or mostly clear skies, light or calm winds, and stable conditions. Extended periods of very high pressure can lead to drought conditions or temperature extremes—hot summers and cold, frosty winters.
