and highest-pressure readings on record. Low-pressure in particular is closely tied to winter storm activity. One of the UK's lowest January pressures was 925.6mb, recorded at Ochtertyre, Perthshire, on 26 January 1884, a figure associated with a powerful storm system. Northern Ireland’s recent record

The highest wind gust recorded in the UK was 100mph at Drumalbin in Lanarkshire and a weather station on Tiree, Inner Hebrides, recorded the UK’s lowest pressure reading since storm naming was introduced in autumn 2015.

their usage and distribution. It is important to distinguish between the data released by the NMSs and the truly raw data, e.g. the temperature readings noted by the observer. The data may have been adjusted to take account of non-climatic influences, for example changes in observing methods
. The ideal location is level ground, free from nearby trees, buildings, or steep terrain that could influence measurements. Local features can affect measurements: buildings may cause artificial warming, trees can block wind and sunlight, frost hollows may result in low overnight readings and wind

The research, led by Dr.Till Kuhlbrodt, University of Reading, highlights the need to reliably attribute the oceanic and sea ice extremes to more accurately predict future extremes, inform mitigation policies and global climate-resilience.
