BlankA hard frost overnight with a minimum of -3,8°C and the

cloud apart from afew contrails and a small patch of Cirrus so
despite the low temepratures it is very pleasant outside.

I am slightly surprised to see Philip Eden's comment about the
pressure being the highest since Dec 2001 since I saw a pressure of
1041.7 hPa on the the 12th Dec 2005,;the pressure today reached
1041.1hPa.

Alan ... I had 1041.3 this morning, and 1041.1 last Dec. Different
sites, of course, Luton and Whipsnade, but close enough to make no
difference in most instances, although my correction card may not be
100% reliable. Instruments: Precision Aneroid Barometer for fixed
hours; NZ barograph for interpolating.

I am about 11 miles away so our readings should be in close agreement in
conditions like this and that seems to be confirmed by the 0.2 difference
between our readings today. In any case it looks if all of these values will
be exceeded in the next few days as 1042 seems to be on the cards for around
here.
