Low pressure

TV news this morning was reporting the lowest pressure system over the UK ‘for many years’. It’s down to 977mb (only 986mb here at the moment). They’re saying that in the next 24-36 hours the pressure will rise by approx 60mb.

Sounds like we’ll all be squashed to 2ft tall by the end of the weekend!

That looks like a very interesting site that I’ll have to explore further when I get a chance.

For us metrically challenged folks that’s 977 * 0.029530069 = 28.85 in Hg

Mercury is dangerous so we prefer to use bars these days :wink:

Yes, a very good site :slight_smile:

Wow!!! 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

Trouble is that if I start looking at this you might not hear from me for weeks! There’s all sorts of amazing charts on there that I’ve never seen before and their model covers the next 7 days in a lot of cases.

I think this is probably the source of the FleetCode data that I’m using in Digital Atmosphere to generate the European Frontal Systems charts on the main web site, http://www.weather-watch.com/site/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=45

hey, those charts look great on your web site!
i just noticed you have still only wdl 2.04 crhis…which has a problem with loading the records, and 2.05 fixes that… :slight_smile:

have you also seen this model?
http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts/d/charts/deterministic/world/msl_uv850_z500
its actualy a bit more accurate at times, well for aus/nz, than the us navy one (which tends to paint a worse case)

Not mine…I still see the problem here…I thought it was just me as I just installed WDL. Hmmmm…

Hmmm…I do seem to have got behind with WDL. I’ll fix that soon.

I hadn’t seen the other model…but I’ll be looking at it now. You do realise that you’re distracting me from that other project!

wdl 3.01 will be ready in the next 30 minutes or so

I think I was a bit too quick. I saw the new version listed, but appeared to download 2.05 on my first attempt.

I’ll obviously have to read the docs…I’ve not got it running and apart from a new version number it looks the same. I don’t think updating the version number is a good reason for releasing a new version, so I’m, obviously missing something important!
