Virtually clear skies over us this morning, though quite showery over Fife. There has been a frost, down to -6.5 on the ground, making the lawn very "crunchy" Current air temperature -1.8. A good rise in pressure, so high values back again.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
It should be a fine, dry day with sunny spells & some variable amounts of cloud. Maximum temperatures should reach around 4 degrees, with light winds.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The dry weather will continue with long clear spells. There will be a widespread moderate frost & some mist & fog bands in the valley.Minimum temperatures are likely to be down to -5 or -6, so the inevitable icy patches.
