MOSCOW, September 5 (RIA Novosti) - A record low atmospheric pressure of 727.7 mm of mercury was registered in the Russian capital Tuesday, a Moscow meteorologist said.
"Atmospheric pressure dropped below a record low at 3 a.m. Moscow time (11 p.m. GMT Monday), and hit 727.7 mm Hg at 9 a.m. (5 a.m. GMT)," a regional metrological center's spokesperson said. "The previous record low of 731.2 mm Hg was registered in 1936."
She said a drop in atmospheric pressure, however, would not affect the geomagnetic situation in Moscow, which will remain quite, according to Russia's Geophysical Situation Forecasting Center.
