Explanation

ความกดอากาศต่ำ is made from ความกดอากาศ, “atmospheric pressure,” and ต่ำ, “low.” In weather contexts, it is best understood as “low pressure” or “a low-pressure area.” It is more common in forecasts, weather reports, and disaster-preparedness information than in casual everyday conversation. The opposite is ความกดอากาศสูง, “high pressure.”

Usage

It is commonly used in weather forecasts, meteorological news, and explanations of heavy rain, strong winds, storms, and typhoons. It often appears when describing why the weather is changing or becoming unstable.

Caution

Do not use it too freely for personal physical condition unless the context is clearly about weather. Also, if you simply mean that air pressure is low at a high altitude, you may need a fuller explanation rather than treating it as a weather-system term.
