Unusually High Pressure

[Slowpoke]

Does anyone have charts of when unusually high pressure is over Europe (1400+)

[Mondy]

+1040mb ???

Well this has never happened lol

Assuming you mean 1040mb, and you include north eastern Europe, you don't have to go back too far. I'm sure if you look hard enough there are much better examples, especially for central Europe and indeed the UK.

In the long, snowy winter of 1963.

January 2008 was a good example of a >1055mb high in Europe

Thanks for these. Find it dead interesting. So it generally happens in Winter?

Im pretty sure Mr Data created a thread on a intense area of HP in Central Europe once, when pressure built to a staggering 1068mb. If I find the thread, I will post the link.

Highest Barometric Pressure ever recorded was 1085MB recorded at Mongolia December 19th 2001 (Another very high reading December 31st 1968 U.S.S.R)

Pressure wasn't too low around these shores around that time either:

and not particularly unusual by yearly standards but pressure doesn't normally get this high during summer:
