MuckleJoannie Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 961 on my weather ststion just now. According to Dave Wheeler at the centre of the Low it is about 959hPa. As long as pressure is low it means light winds. As the glass rises so will wind speeds. We're in the eye of the storm at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
