PlanetaryPressureCycles

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Pressure ”, PlanetaryPressureCycles takes LiveCodeLab, SonicPi & Hydra code to mimic the cycles of weather pressure. Where High Pressure tends to lead to clearer skies and less wind while lower pressure leads to cloudy/stormier outcomes. The possible cycles in this planetary system are showcased in this sketch.

Poetry

Pressure roams both fast and slow
It externalizing its will
As it decides to fill
Energetic traits when it is low
Stormy intents tend to spill
Winds tends to follow
Clouds are no longer shallow
Planetary Cycle
Of Pressure shall follow
