Diverse Devices, Southampton, England

British Isles lowest MSLP was 925.6 mbar at Ochtertyre, near Crieff,
Perthshire at 2145h on 26 Jan 1884. More in my article 'The Lowest of
the Lows ... Extremes of barometric pressure in the British Isles,
Part 1 - the deepest depressions' in Weather, Jan 2007.

There have been six occasions in the last 200 years or so when the
pressure has fallen below 940 mbar at one or more sites, the 1982
event being the most recent.
