Birmingham at about 140 m: the barometer reads lower
Birmingham sits higher than most big British cities, at roughly 140 metres. An unadjusted barometer there reads about 17 hPa (millibars) below the sea-level figure in forecasts. Both numbers are correct; for comparing with other cities use sea level, and for spotting a change in the weather either works.
