Description: A world map from 1896 showing typical global isobars and winds during July. This map is color–coded to show the areas of high barometric pressure in pinks, and areas of low barometric pressure in blues. Barometric pressures are shown on the isobar lines. Typical wind directions are shown flying with the arrowheads, away from high pressure and towards low pressure areas.
