Solution
The level of mercury in a barometer refers to the atmospheric pressure in that region. If the level of mercury is high, it signifies a high atmospheric pressure and vice versa.
Sudden fall in Mercury level:
- It signifies that there has been a fast fall in atmospheric pressure over the region.
- This will pool air from the surrounding regions vigorously and there is a possibility of a storm in that area.
