Default Historical low pressure events - central southern England

...
Today's minimum MSL pressure here was 961.1 mbar at 1405z (value from
Fortin mercury barometer, backed up by PAB 961.2 mbar and Davis AWS
value of 960.9 mbar). This is the fourth-lowest value in southern
England west of London within the last 60 years (see details below).
It is still 9 mbar higher than the Feb 1989 event, which was the
lowest in London since 1821.
