Low Pressure Systems

“What causes cold, rainy weather?”

Nearly every location in the world experiences cold, rainy days sometimes. But what exactly causes them? Well, when the atmosphere has low pressure, it sucks up the air underneath like a straw. As the air rises, it cools and has less capacity to hold moisture. This moisture then turns into clouds and releases rain. These Low-Pressure Systems are the reason behind many cloudy days.
