Glasgow and the Atlantic storm track
Many Atlantic lows pass to the north-west of Scotland, so Glasgow sees deeper lows and larger pressure swings than cities in England. In autumn and winter pressure can fall by 20 hPa or more in a day as a deep low approaches, with gales and heavy rain.
Sea level or barometer: 1034 hPa and 1032 hPa in Glasgow

Pressure swings in Glasgow 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.
