Yep, mostly just used to help crowdsource weather reporting like this.

Though I have seen another interesting use-case for the barometer, which is for IP-rated (water-resistant) phones, you can use the barometer to check that your device still has a water-tight seal with an app that measures the pressure as you squeeze the sides of the phone together.

I thought barometers were initially included to help with location. Air pressure isn't just for weather, it also helps work out your altitude.
