Hello,

I am sorry for this basic question, but is there a a conversion from hpa to mb? My novice little weather station measures in hpa and I think that most people refer to pressure in mb.

Thank you in advance

Hi Aunt Sally,

As far as I know they are both the same. So no need to worry.

Here's an article that might help Auntie :o

Key quote would have to be:

1 mb = 1 hPa
