Explanation
ความกดอากาศ is built from ความ, which forms abstract nouns, กด meaning “press,” and อากาศ meaning “air” or “atmosphere.” Its core image is the force of air pressing on something. It commonly combines with words such as สูง “high,” ต่ำ “low,” เพิ่มขึ้น “increase,” and ลดลง “decrease.” It is understandable in everyday speech, but it has a somewhat technical or explanatory tone.
Usage
It is used in weather forecasts, meteorology, science classes, and explanations involving altitude, such as mountains or airplane cabins.
Caution
Do not use this word for emotional, social, or psychological pressure. For that meaning, use ความกดดัน instead.
