Met Office just confirming on Twitter that a figure above the 1049.2mb at Sennybridge in 1992 would be the highest reading anywhere in the UK since 16 Jan 1957.

They also just posted the pressure chart from 1902 when the UK pressure record was set.
1046.3 Hpa rising.
Frustratingly being on the eastern periphery of this HP means a northerly flow persists, as a result its 4.8c
Still climbing steadily.
My station has moved from 1048.4mb at 1800 to 1048.8mb at 1830.
Would be nice to record my first ever 1050mb in over 30 years of data.
1048.76 being read here at the moment
Too high Warren.
Kent is currently approx 1046.2 near the East Coast to approx 1047.2 over the far west.
I've had this old baro for over 50 years and I don't think I ever saw a reading like this
30.80 = 1043.0mb
can't vouch for its accuracy though
1040.9 here in Watford - http://weather.andrewlalchan.co.uk/
That sounds very low. 1048.7 the latest here, rising quite a bit now.
Sennybridge at 1049.5mb at 1900 (Welsh record appears to have been broken)
My station has just moved to 1049.0mb at 1906
Way too low. Northolt had 1048.1mb at 1800
1049.2 here now. Smashed the station record that was 1044.8 with records going back to 1996.
Hurn, Southampton and Cardiff all reporting 1049hPa in latest METARs.
Pressure is fluctuating here by quite a lot and there has now been a couple of occasions where the pressure at Edinburgh Gogarbank has equalled today's highest value of 1042.7mb.Every time that the pressure reaches that value though, it then drops back a bit during the following hour and so, that's probably about as high as what the pressure is going to get here (not that this seems to matter anyway, as that has still done nothing to change the fact that we still have the same old "winter" borefest in terms of the weather which we are getting from that, with the temperatures refusing to drop as a result of there still being too much wind and too much cloud around).

So we're into the 1050s mb in southern Wales! Highest since 16th Jan 1957 - and that was in Scotland. Tea rarely tasted so fine .
Wales has set a new all-time record based on what Q posted at the start of this thread.
England record standing strong at 1053.1 mb though - unlikely to reach that.
1045 max at Glasgow.
Interesting to see some aviation chatter with pilots commenting on the the high 'QNH' with presumably connotations with their performance calculations
1050.2hpa
Is that the welsh record gone?
Mumbles is stuck on 1050.2hpa
Sennybridge has actually lost 0.1hpa and is down to 1050.1hpa.
Actually reading 1051 here now. Can't quite accept what I'm seeing!
correct well spotted
QNH means sea level pressure and when you hear QFE means pressure at current ground level
Anyway currently 1047.4

Too high Warren. Kent is currently approx 1046.2 near the East Coast to approx 1047.2 over the far west.
