Default Lowest Jan barometer in 60 years in southern England
wrote:

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).

968.1mbar at Hampstead at 0555 and 0600; estimated (from
barograph) 969.8mbar here at Whipsnade around 0600.
