A sharp frost this morning (-6.0 ). Lowest in the U.K. was -8 (Shap, Eskdalemuir & Belfast ). It was still -6.0 when observations were taken, so only a slow warming up, but sparkling out there (unless you have some mist or fog). Seems ideal for a stroll by the loch or in the woods.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A frosty start, with some freezing fog around in the valley. The day will again be dry & a fair amount of sunshine is expected. It is likely to be a degree or two down on yesterday, with maximum temperatures only about 3 degrees.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Dry, with good clear spells. Perhaps a few cloud patches at times overnight. Frosty once again, but probably not quite as cold as the night just gone. Minimum temperatures around -4.
OUTLOOK
Still looking dry & settled for a few more days yet, with high pressure dominating.
