Barometric pressure peaked on my trusty aneroid at 30.46 inches of mercury = 1031.5 hPa. Had hoped to make 1040. But still it is the highest I have recorded in Motueka over the 5 years I have been here.
A local private weather station (http://www.warren.co.nz/weather) had a max of 1034 hPa at 12:30 am this morning.
Does anyone know what the highest pressure ever recorded in NZ was?

Answered my own question:According to the Met Service – the highest pressure over land recorded in New Zealand was 1046hp, in the late 1800s.
