millibars forecast over the Channels Islands overnight. Now that's
what I
call a low.

950 here a couple of hours ago. According to the weather station at
Jersey airport at 10pm, it was 987 and falling. We hope everyone stays
safe and doesn't venture far afield until this has blown itself out!

My barometer shows only inches - 28.5. How do I convert that to
millibars?

Use this http://www.csgnetwork.com/pressinmbcvt.html
28.5" = 965.1169490999999 millibars

Thanks!


Sorry to be the bearer of bad news David, but even the millibars are out
of date. The correct international unit is now the hectopascal!
Fortunately one hectopascal = one millibar, so the conversion is not too
difficult.
