The ideal barometric pressure typically falls between 29 and 31 inHg. This barometric pressure is comfortable for most people and will possibly allow them to live with less joint pain, especially if the area they reside in does not fluctuate rapidly throughout the day or week with barometric pressure readings.

The most basic change in pressure is the twice daily rise and fall due to the heat from the sun. Each day, the pressure is at its lowest around 4 a.m./p.m., and at its highest around 10 a.m./p.m. The magnitude of the daily cycle is greatest near the equator, decreasing toward the poles.

The highest sea-level air pressure ever recorded was 1083.8 mb (32.01 in. Hg) in Agata, Siberia on December 31, 1968; produced by a very cold, dense air mass.
