The mean sea-level pressure chart for September looked a lot
more 'normal' than August's had done. The Icelandic Low was
there, roughly where it ought to be, but rather deeper than usual;
likewise the Azores High, but with a strong ridge of high pressure
extending across Biscay, France, and central Europe to Ukraine.
There was a second low centred off north Norway. Over the
British Isles the WSW-ly gradient was rather steeper than usual.

The main anomaly centres we
-6mbar just SW of Iceland
-6mbar over northern Finland
+5mbar near 45N 20W (i.e. between the Azores and Scilly)

Over the UK pressure anomaly ranged from -1.5 in
Shetland to +3mbar at Scilly, leaving the country under
a W to NW-ly anomalous flow.
