By the way, I believe that figures in hPa and in mBar should not be 'exactly' the same.
Why ? Because of the difference between referentials : MKS for the first one (Kg as a mass) and MKpS (Kg as a force) for the second one. So there should be a factor of g = 9,81 (earth gravity mean acceleration) to be inserted : 1 Bar = 9,81 Pa (not exactly 10 Pa).
But this shift of 2% is commonly integrated.
