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.

Further to my previous post, I find that the value given in the Guiness Book
of Records (1054.7 mbar), does not tally with the Daily Weather Report for
31st January 1902, wherein it is strated that the highest MSL pressure at
Aberdeen was 31.11 inches (1053.5 mbar). It is possible that the value may
have been subject to subsequent correction, or Ingrid Holford's value may be
in error.
