He gave the paper to my son and I wonder if he still has it, or, as he's now here, if he remembers what it shows! No wonder flights have been cancelled! I just hope and pray it blows through tonight and that tomorrow brings calmer weather! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

According to the weather station at Jersey airport at 10pm, it was 987 and falling. We hope everyone stays safe and doesn't venture far afield until this has blown itself out! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

My barometer shows only inches - 28.5. How do I convert that to millibars? David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |

Met office surface pressure forecast showed it passing us on its way north - unless I mis-read the animation :) Mail and newspapers got in a couple of hours late this morning and one flight from Exeter has managed to land. Everything else delayed until lunch-time at least. Oh, and ferries aren't sailing so the UK is completely cut off at the moment :) |

The correct international unit is now the hectopascal! Fortunately one hectopascal = one millibar, so the conversion is not too difficult. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/repor...ectopascal.htm -- RG |

To convert millibars to inches of mercury, multiply the millibar value by 0.0295301. Or use an online converter eg Inches-Millibars Pressure Converter |
