Newbee needs help!

Hi!

 

Just joined the forums as I've treated myself to a Watson W-8681

 

I'm a bit bothered that its showing a relative pressure reading of 1015.00 hpa when the area I live in is showing 1027.00 generally

 

I've found an RAF weather station 10 miles away positioned @ 83 metres ASL (same as me); can I safely "adjust" my station to match?

 

Regards

Try Google Earth (not Google maps) for your exact location. It should give you the height to within a metre unless you live on a very steep hillside.

 

And welcome to Netweather.

If you have a slack pressure pattern in your area no problem. Now is probably okay but check when stuck in the middle of high pressure.
