Following are some postings that I saw on the WX-TALK newsgroup. I
don't have time to confirm if any of this information is valid but it is
very interesting. Let me know if any of you know more.

Further to my other posting earlier today... the Mongolian anticyclone is still strengthening; if it continues to build, it might threaten the world record of 1083.8 mb (32.01 in.) sea-level pressure recorded at Agata, Siberia on 31 December 1968. At 1800Z today, S/L pressure was 1081.7 mb ( 31.95 in.) at WMO station 44230, Tarialan, Mongolia, according to their SYNOP observation.
