Answer: Cyclone
Notes: The sudden decrease in atmospheric pressure typically indicates the approach of a low-pressure weather system or area, which can manifest as stormy or windy conditions. A sharp dip in barometric pressure can signal the arrival of a low-pressure storm front bringing precipitation, strong winds and other stormy weather. A rapidly falling pressure gradient is a key sign of an incoming cyclone or hurricane in tropical coastal regions, indicating high winds and torrential rains to come.
