Why do barometers have different centre readings? I thought 1000 mbar
was average, as that's what barometers always used to have as the
central reading ("change"), but Wikipedia says it's 1013. I've seen
some newer ones with 1010 as the centre.
On mine it's 29.5 inches
Snap.
Are you one of those Merkins?
y barometer has the name of an old established Edinburgh company on the
dial.
And ours has the name of a Brighton company on it - but not on the dial,
as it hasn't got one, being a traditional mercury barometer.
