One millibar equals approximately 0.000986923 atmospheres. You need about 1,013.25 mbar to equal one atmosphere.
Divide the millibar value by 1,013.25 (or multiply by 0.000986923). For example, 980 mbar × 0.000986923 = 0.9672 atm.
Pressures below 980 mbar often indicate storm systems. Category 5 hurricanes can have central pressures below 920 mbar. The lowest recorded was 870 mbar (Typhoon Tip, 1979).
Pressure drops roughly 12 mbar per 100 meters of elevation gain near sea level. At 5,500 meters altitude, pressure is approximately 500 mbar (half of sea-level pressure).
