Did you feel the pressure form the Volcano in Tonga yesterday? Check your phone or tablet!

If you have a pressure sensor on it (most iphones and Samsungs do now), do you see a dip and rise in pressure last night?

This may be the pressure wave from the Tonga volcano that erupted yesterday.

Below is the trace from my phone in Wombourne, Stafford showing the first wave hitting around 7.20pm and the second and perhaps third wave just before and after midnight today!

How awesome is that????

Reports are coming in from around the Earth of a similar pattern of pressure waves. If confirmed this may be one of the first (if not the first) occasion when such a pressure wave has been able to be recorded on masses of devices around the Earth. The implications for the understanding of our atmosphere, weather forecasting and climate could be huge.

How was the pressure for you?
