Umm, that's a steep gradient. It's 1017.2 at the Greenwich

That's gotta be wrong, hasn't it? The wind strengths don't match the pressure gradient.

 

[philip_stevens]

Most definitely, but it does upset the picture. Alderney is only 1018.

Yes, Typo should read 1018 according to isobar charts

 

[wooslehunter]

Now 1020.

It must have been a glitch in the micro-wave link to Alderney.

I would have pushed the tide out a long way though.

Anyone know what the highest pressure recorded in the was - and not just in the UK?
