Default Possible September MSLP/QFF record?

... Stephen will no doubt come in when he can, but it looks as if the
September record was broken last night at Ballykelly (03908) at
11/0050Z ... however, it'll need to be 'buddy checked' and also
internally checked [i.e. to see if earlier readings were 'sensible'
within the overall pattern & within the station's own record:
Stephen's the expert on all this so I say no more :-) ]


Looking at recent obs it may well be the AWS at Ballykelly is slightly over
reading. Eglinton at 13.50z was 1038mb rounded, whilst Ballykelly was
still 1040mb at 13z. At 14z Ballykelly was 1039 and at 14.20 Eglinton was
1038. They are less than 10 miles apart.
