First of all, barometer is a pressure measuring device and and when there is a storm which is formed due to low pressure in its center barometer should show sudden downfall of reading. Its got nothing to do with rainfall.

@Appi has explained very well.
Let me try Rain fall means flow of cloud from high press reason to low press reason.
Barometer is press measuring instrument, it gives atmospheric pressure reading, it mean it sense the low pressure at the time of rain fall.

At rainfall low temperature is formed.

Sudden fall indicates: Storm.
Slow fall indicates: Rainfall.
Slowly raises indicates: Clear sky.

Barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressures.

Actually, it is a storm which is the correct answer. Because, at extremely low pressure, the gyro-magnetic force of aero-quanta exceedes the electro-pneumomoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano forces in the air. All this results in a gyroscopic thermostorm.

The reading comes down because of pressure drop, which results in windy climate and chances of raining.

Because it is a pressure measuring device and because of which we get info about rain.

Barometer goes down means pressure is reducing. So it must be indication of storm I think.

Actually, reading of a barometer going down is an indication of cyclone i.e. heavy rainfall, unstable weather, Thunderstorm. While rapid increase in barometer reading is an indication of anticyclone i.e.calm and stable weather, no rainfall.
