Bristol: fronts from the south-west
Bristol is often one of the first English cities to feel fronts arriving from the south-west. A steady fall in pressure with a freshening south-westerly is the classic sign of rain on the way; a rise with a wind turning to the north-west usually means clearer, cooler air behind it.
Sea level or barometer: 1026 hPa and 1025 hPa in Bristol

Pressure swings in Bristol and how you feel
Weather-sensitive people usually notice changes in pressure — especially a fast fall ahead of a front — more than the value itself. That is why it helps to watch the change over the last 3 hours and the last 24.
