Wrong kind of pressure

And what 'engines' would those be? ;-)) Exactly what I said to the Fleet Manager this morning, it seems he was the "Spokesman" in the news article and told the staff and the media 2 diffrent things Perhaps you could ask him why c2c attempted to blame the problem on an unusually rapid air pressure increase. I've had a look at the Met Office data for Shoeburyness for the night in question (Sun/Mon 18/19 April), and the pressure rose from 982mb at 22:00* Sunday to 992mb at 11:00 Monday. The Met Office uses words to describe the change in pressure according to the size of rise or fall over 3 hours. The fastest rises in any 3-hour period were of 3mb (22:00-01:00, 05:00-08:00, 06:00-09:00). There is nothing unusual about that. It would take a rise of double that rate to qualify as a "very rapid" rise in Met Office parlance. * All times BST. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
