I have recently purchased a weather station and it requires me to insert my relative pressure into the settings. I have no idea where to get this information? Will someone please help?
Thanks.

It depends on how high above sea level you are:
"Relative pressure or gauge pressure is pressure as compared to atmospheric pressure, or the average pressure of air at Earth's sea level — 101.325 kPa, or 1 atm. Therefore, the relative pressure of ambient air at sea level is usually close to zero."
Try calling your local weather station or news channel for the figure. Or search the web for your altitude.

It depends on your altitude from the sea level. Try going to http://www.weather.gov/ and go to the left side of the page and type in he city you live in. Once you get there go down the page and look up the observations closest to your location then scroll to the left and look under Relative Pressure.
Normally weather stations do not require you to enter the barometric relative pressure because the pressure can fluctuate depending on your weather.
