The main benefit of pleading no contest is that the conviction canât be used against you later in a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit that may come out of the criminal activity.
Surface atmospheric pressure in the center of a hurricane tends to be extremely low. The lowest pressure reading ever recorded for a hurricane (typhoon Tip, 1979) is 870 millibars (mb). However, most storms have an average pressure of 950 millibars. To be classified as a hurricane, sustained wind speeds must be greater than 118 kilometers per hour at the storm's center.
In fact, you can have a very nice weather in a high pressure zone, with clear sunny sky and little wind, but during daytime, the pressure drops a little to climb up again during the night. That is a normal diurnal variation of pressure; when it is hot, air rises and pressure drops a bit. It is not the drop in itself but the rate of fall that is the most important point and that's why some people have barographs that register the pressure over time. An old seafarer's rule is that a pressure fall of ten millibars (today, called hecto-Pascal) in eight hours is a certain sign of a gale force wind coming in. And that is the only thing that is 100 percent certain in meteorology; a pressure fall must be followed by a wind of air trying to fill again the lower pressure.
