As the weather gets colder, the air pressure usually goes up. Why does this happen?
Cold air spreads out to take up more space and presses down harder on the ground.
Colder air is denser, and the increased weight of the air means that there is more air pressure.
When Earth cools, the heat that leaves Earth pushes on the air and increases pressure.
When the weather is colder, the clouds weigh more as ice forms, and heavy clouds increase the air pressure.
