Are you allowing for altitude ?.  I was confused with my BME280,
thinking it was under reading until I did a bit of reading up.
Pressures usually seem to be quoted at sea level, and as you climb, the
pressure drops.  I'm at about 100M above sea level, and I was surprised
by the drop over that height.
