Lowest Jan barometer in 60 years in southern England
wrote in message
...
Minimum MSLP 967.9 mbar here (at 0538). This is just below the 968.4
mbar recorded in the memorable gale of 25 Jan 1990, and is therefore
the lowest in January since 1949 (when, at 15 h on 1 Jan 1949, the
barometer stood at 963.8 mbar at Heathrow).
It's far from the all-time lowest, however - 952.1 mbar here on 25
February 1989 (the lowest in southern England since 1821), and even as
recently as 10 March last year 961.1 mbar was recorded.
