If the models are remotely right for the beginning of next
week, we are in for a new record sea-level pressure for
September in the UK. The models suggest anything up to
1043mbar whereas the record stands at 1041, and that
occurred late in the month when one would expect to get
higher values. A quick search indicates nothing above
1038 mbar in the first half of the month.

... worth keeping an eye on the pressure levels across NE Scotland
today (Tuesday). At the moment 08Z, general values appear to be
above 1039mbar, with a spot 1040mbar on the 00Z Exeter analysis.

Looks as though the highest sea-level pressure was
1040.8 mbar at Inverbervie (03088) at 22z on the 7th.
This is on a par with September record which unfortunately
I only have as c.1041mbar at Shawbury on 19th Sept '86.

It's undoubtedly a new record for the first half of Sept.
