The highest recorded pressure in the UK was 1055 mb (1902), the lowest was 926.5 mb (1884).

Let’s assume you adjust the altimeter to 0 feet at the high pressure of 1055 mb. As the pressure decreases, the sensors believe your ascending – once you reach 926.5 mb the altimeter will be showing 3576 feet.

Of course, these are two extremes – I expect even the most severe of cold fronts wouldn’t adjust the altimeter by any more than ~400 ft?

Fantastic pictures!

So this explains why Santa stopped visiting me 🙁

Will radio DJs never learn that phone pranks are a bad idea… This reminds me of the Russell Brand / Andrew Sachs case a few years back.
