Mapping and weather questions:
1. What is it about the pressure system stalled over Australia that relates to the weather over the next 4 days? The Pressure System over Australia at the moment suggests that the weather will be fine for the next few days. This is because a high pressure system is currently circulating over the country. A high pressure system generates calm and stable weather hence why the forecast is to be sunny for the next few days.
2. What is the air pressure in each of the next 4 days for each of the capital cities? How does this correspond with the predicted weather for these cities?
