Hello Rob

The same rapid fall occurred here in the Yorkshire Dales at a similar time.
The pressure dropped from 1006.3mb to 1002.0mb. It was accompanied by a
short lived heavy burst of rain and a wind gust of 22mph. Pressure then
quickly rose by 2mb but is now falling again.

At about 0645 BST this morning the pressure fell by 5.5mb inside the
hour. This is shown on my barograph and also on my AWS Vantage pro, so
there is no instrument failure. The pressure has now recovered, but the
change on my barograph looks like some major feature has passed through. I
have not seen a pressure change of this magnitude in such a short time
scale- I can only assume it was a storm cell that was very close by.
