Hmmmm no :)

Checking with local weather site it should be ~1006 hPa.

Do you think the sensor is just badly calibrated?

I tested now with another sensor on the Snowball board.
It gives (after scaling):

101.4
28.8
101.9
28.8
101.9
29.5

This sensor seems more accurate wrt pressure.
However here instead the temperature seems bananas,
this is a Swedish office, we don't have ~30degrees here...
And it's not the board is just turned on so I don't think it's
that warm. One sensor gives believeable pressure, the other
gives believeable temperature...

The data sheet says this sensor is calibrated for two
pressure+temperature combinations at manufacturing.
I wonder if there are "secret registers" in the device that
can update the calibration...

Anyways, the measures are not totally off scale so
I guess they are in the right ballpark. And these patches
makes it work better for sure.
