I hate to point this out, but sound travels the same speed regardless of barometric pressure. Sound travels faster in damp air because it is LESS dense than dry air and faster at higher temperatures because it is LESS dense than at cooler temperatures.
Either way, the difference is not so great to make a difference when listening to music.
The weather can make a difference because of how it affects the LISTENER which is the greatest variable in how a system sounds.
