the SSP5-RCP8.5 scenario (Gutiérrez et al., 2021; Figure 2). In general, decreases in precipitation and increases in temperature and evaporation are expected to intensify drought severity and duration over the region. Wet season rain storms are also projected to become more intense, as a warmer

Pressure is important as it can tell us about what kind of weather to expect; when the pressure is high, we can usually expect clear skies and light winds, when the pressure is low we can usually expect wet and windy weather.
