value as reference). For the weather forecast, it's essential to measure the correct air pressure. Also when
you're located e.g. 100 meters above sea level. This is called the relative air pressure. For every 8 meters
the air pressure is reduced by 1 hPa. When you're not located in the mountains, there's no need to adjust
the relative air pressure.

pressed in bars. 1 mbar equals 1 hPa.
