If you want to use a barometer to get a clue about what to expect from the weather (As opposed to just a cool nautical thing to hang on the bulkhead) you need to get additional data using the old MkI eyeball. We also found input from my beard and that thing above my moustache useful. An anemometer might be even better.

Learning to use these tools in combination, we have been able to stay ahead of the weather curve, or at least anticipate what was coming.

We found this book to be a big help.
