Hi Thegreatdr
i have reviewed this article over for GA Status and im passing it. Well done on improving another important meterology to GA. Jason Rees ( talk) 17:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm concerned about the use of jargon. SilkTork * YES! 11:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Keep in mind that much of the jargon used within the article is wikilinked, and explained in those articles rather than this one, which I thought was ideal. Tried some rewording of the lead to help out, but I'm not sure it's doing any good. We need a lay person to review the article to know what needs clarifying. Thegreatdr ( talk) 19:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
This is a clearer explanation, from
here:
Low pressure areas form when an airmass warms, either from being over a warm land or ocean surface, or from being warmed by condensation of water vapor in large rain or snow systems. The warming causes the air layer to expand upward, becoming slightly thicker. This expansion then causes air in the upper troposphere to flow away, leaving less mass, and so less weight (pressure) at the surface. The lower pressure air at the surface then causes higher pressure air around it to flow toward lower pressure, but as it does, the rotation of the Earth turns the wind to the right, resulting in the counter-clockwise wind flow around low pressure (in the Northern Hemisphere...it flows in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere).

I found that easier to follow. SilkTork * YES! 14:18, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I see that you have made some edits - thank you. I think that exchanging "instigate" for "cause" has been helpful, though not all your edits have been so positive, so the clarity of the article has not significantly improved - in some places it has become more difficult, such as introducing the term Rossby wave without an explanation. I also note that the term is not used in the body. However, as there has been some development I feel it appropriate to put this on hold for another seven days. In seven days time I also might be able to devote some time to assisting with the article, which currently I cannot. SilkTork * YES! 09:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
barometer: a tool used to measure air pressure
thermometer: an instrument used to measure temperature
rain gauge: a device for measuring rainfalls
anemometer: an instrument for measuring wind force —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.207.184 ( talk) 02:26, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Seems to me that somewhere in all this learned explication about low-pressure etc, one could find information about in which direction the air circulates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.202.206 ( talk) 01:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Not sure what this line means:
"Tropical cyclones can form during any month of the year globally, but can occur in either the northern or southern hemisphere during November."
Can form anywhere (either hemisphere), anytime (Jan through Nov) But Can form anywhere (either hemisphere), in November.
Do you mean, "Tropical cyclones can form during any month of the year globally, but more frequently in November" ? RainbowCanada ( talk) 22:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Seriously, this is far too dense and complex for an Encyclopedia article. It reads like it was written by someone who has just graduated and wanted to show off but has zero understanding of how to make the subject accessible to the layman.
Can somebody who actually knows how to write re-draft this into something you don't have to be a climatologist to follow? LeapUK ( talk) 18:15, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I've reverted the moving of this article to Low-pressure area (meteorology). Is there some other kind of "low-pressure area" from which the meteorological kind needs to be disambiguated? If so, there's no sign of it on English Wikipedia. It sure looks to me like this article is the primary topic associated with this title. - Bryan Rutherford ( talk) 15:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
