Already up to 1044mb in Penzance & set to rise to near 1050mb, breaking my
record 090:00 record (1044mb - records start 1992) by a fair margin.

Anyone know the highest barometric pressure recorded at Camborne? (Where's
PE when you need him). The highest ever recorded in the UK is 1053.6mb

Hello Graham,

Afraid I can't put my finger on the highest in the SW at the moment, but
according to Ingrid Holford's Guiness Book of Records (1977), the highest
MSL pressure in the UK is 1054.7 mbar at Aberdeen on 31st January 1902.
My highest here in Wokingham since 1976 is 1046.8 in Jan 1992.

Ah 1976, I wonder ? :-)

Summer anticyclones rarely, if ever, seem to be as intense as winter
ones. I suspect that Bernard's record began in 1976, and that's why he
mentioned that year.
