Low pressure does not affect the rate of evaporation. High humidity lowers the rate of evaporation. The driving force for evaporation is governed by the partial pressure of water in the atmosphere which is not changed by pressure (although the saturation partial pressure is governed by temperature which will lower with reduction in pressure). Hope I have got my physics right!

I believe your question is not worded correctly. Rates of evaporation of water do depend on things like the temperature, humidity, and wind.

robert a got it right but he left out,if the barometric pressure is dropping it usaully is a good indicator(not always) that rain or a storm is on the way
