Which is the higher air pressure, cloudy or sunny?

Generally speaking, the air pressure in sunny days is higher than that in cloudy days, and the air pressure in winter is higher than that in summer. Atmospheric pressure is related to the density of air, the density of water vapor is less than that of air, and there is more water vapor in the air on cloudy days, so the air pressure becomes lower.

Air pressure refers to the pressure produced by the air column per unit area on the earth. The air pressure in a place often changes. When the air pressure drops, it is rainy, the weather rises and the weather turns fine. There are many reasons for the change of air pressure. The change of temperature is a very important reason for the change of pressure. When the air is cooled, the air contracts, the density increases, the weight of air column per unit area increases, and the air pressure also increases. Therefore, the arrival of cold air is always accompanied by the increase of air pressure; When warm air comes, the air pressure tends to drop. Winter is a world of cold air and summer is a world of warm air, so obviously, the air pressure is high in winter and low in summer.
