A decrease in the height of the Mercury column in a barometer indicates a drop in atmospheric pressure. This can occur due to changes in weather systems, such as the approach of a low-pressure system, which is often associated with cloudy or rainy conditions. Conversely, an increase in the column height would indicate rising atmospheric pressure.

The barometric condenser leg height limit of 34 feet is primarily due to atmospheric pressure. At sea level, atmospheric pressure can support a column of mercury approximately 34 feet high (or about 29.9 inches of mercury). When using water, the height limit is about 33.9 feet, as water is less dense than mercury. Beyond this height, the pressure difference becomes insufficient to maintain the column, leading to potential vacuum conditions and loss of condensate return.
The pressure will support a column of mercury whose vertical height is 760mm.
1 mm of water is equivalent to approximately 0.0735 mm of mercury (Hg) when used as a barometer. This is due to the difference in density between water and mercury; mercury is about 13.6 times denser than water. Thus, a column of mercury will exert a greater pressure than the same height of water.
The term mm Hg means millimeters of mercury; this is a measurement of barometric pressure (the pressure of air is measured in terms of the equivalent height of a column of mercury that would exert the same pressure). 1 mmHg is about 133 pascals.
the atmospere can not support the greater height column and the column of mercury will drop to the level in which the atmospere can support
there is a decrease in atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is directly proportional to the height of the mercury column in a barometer. When the height decreases, it indicates that the pressure in the atmosphere is lower.

The height of the Mercury column would decrease.
When air pressure increases, the mercury in a barometer rises.
low pressure system and stormy weather
As a mercury barometer is taken up a mountain, the height of the mercury column would decrease. This occurs because atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, leading to less force exerted on the mercury in the barometer. Consequently, the lower atmospheric pressure results in a shorter column of mercury being supported.
