Hi Ian
The rise in pressure was of the same magnitude here.
But more stunning was the 10mb rise in one hour between 7am and 8am.
I presume your barometer isn't calibrated to compensate for altitude?
as 960mb seems a very low reading.
Alex.

At 06:00 we had 960 mB here, less than 5 hours later we had 981 mB. For
this
part of the world (where a little local flooding represents extreme
weather)
this was a fairly deep hole in the sky.
