Campbell Island to 953.5mb at noon today and may have touched lower before going up - rare.
I do recall a low in the 940's many many years ago in that area but I don't recall how low Campbell got that time.

I have seen 945 low's before in the southern ocean...rare, but not that rare, to go to 950's or lower

There was a 936 in the deep Sth Atlantic years ago as well but I don't think it was anywhere near a recording station...

Arnt quite a few of the lows around really far south I seen on the maps 935-945 but its on a "500" pressure map so they probably more shallower on the surface?
