When a barometer reading suddenly recedes, it indicates that climate–
(1) will be very warm
(2) will be extremely stormy
(3) will remain cold
(4) incessant rain for at least 48 hours
Answer: (2) In summer, when the barometer falls suddenly, a thunderstorm can be expected, and if it does not rise again upon its cessation, the weather will probably continue unsettled for several days. In summer, when a thunderstorm happens, there is little or no depression of the barometer.
