I called our weather station to answer your question ..

It means hectopascal .

hectopascal means it's a unit of pressure used in meteorology. One hectopascal equals 100 Pascals (1 hPa = 100 Pa)

Standard sea-level pressure, by definition, equals 1 atmosphere (atm), or 29.92 in. ... while Environment Canada's standard unit of pressure is hectopascal.

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure above any area in the Earth's atmosphere caused by the weight of air. Next closer to earth is hectopascal system .
