Trying to repeat some measurements the other day and wasn't exactly sure of the ƒ?? and inHg, so guessed at it, and later went to check the guesses.

Map
KTXHOUST507 04052018
KTXHOUST2063 04052018

?ÿ

Never seen the barometric pressure so high. Googled some historic data which showed, by one report or compilation, the record was 30.88inHg in January of '62.?ÿ

The two stations on the map are numbers 74 and 75, not that far apart.

Couldn't edit the first post in Safari. This was the historic barometric chart for KTXHOUST2063 for Thursday.

Be aware you need absolute pressure at your elevation and the value given by most weather services are adjusted to sea level equivalent.?ÿ If your elevation is high this can be significant.

Absolutely. We're pretty flat here and there's not much change in the Houston area with regard to MSL.

The bizarre barometer reading says the station location is 670' in elevation. That may be the answer.

That's special. Thought I was looking at unique station tags, not temperatures. ?ÿ(insert stupid emoticon here)
