Mine picked it up too - in Portugal. Teeny little dip and crest, and I wasn’t sure until the meteorological station in a city 30km tweeted that they’d seen it too, and the times coincided (well, I was about a minute later) very neatly.

> the bay area It's always interesting that anyone who lives in a "Bay", refers to their local as THE Bay. For this phenomenon, which is documented as circling the globe, who knows where this could be!

  no, there’s multiple areas with bays, there’s only one Bay Area.

    > there’s only one Bay Area I suspected you were just assuming that, so I googled it, and found quite a few.

  The "Bay Area" is well known to refer (only) to the San Francisco Bay, while the "Greater Bay Area" is known to only refer to the Pearl River Delta Bay (HK, Macau, Guangdong). Other bays are typically named more specifically (e.g. Tokyo Bay, Monterey Bay, etc.). You'd be more on point if OP had referred to San Francisco as "The City" as many in the City do; since that's something that's also used in other cities like NYC. NB: current resident of the Greater Bay Area in China and former resident of the lesser Bay Area in California.

May I kindly ask the make and model of your weather station please?

  I noticed the same on all in Aqara Zigbee temperature/pressure/humidity sensors. They're all inside, I could still easily see it twice (many hours apart). Though I only noticed after someone in a Home Automation topic mentioned seeing the effect ;) Nothing fancy was needed for this, the sensor I'm talking about is battery operated. I have this one: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ11LM.html https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ11LM.html or this one: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ12LM.html https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ12LM.html (they look alike too much).

I was outside in my backyard when I heard a mild crashing sound around 7 or 8am in Toronto. I thought the neighbour had dropped a ladder or metal garbage can or something…but after reading the news I realized it could have been the Tonga explosion.
