I seem to recall from my school days that an area of low pressure would be filled by higher pressure being drawn into it. I wonder with some curiosity how areas of low pressure develop in the first place, but more puzzled by the statement on a forecast I heard this evening that the current low causing the storm (Brendan) has deepened by 24mBar in the last 24 hours. How does a low get lower? Where does the air get sucked to, to make the pressure drop, because all the surrounding air should be at a higher pressure and should lessen the low.

If the jet stream was moving above it wouldn’t that create the low pressure?

Warmer air is less dense (which is why it rises) and pressure is a function of the density of a given gas (or mixture of gases).
