It's the Vernal Equinox today, one of just 2 days each year when all parts of Planet Earth receive equal amounts of day & night. It's also, on this occasion, likely to be a particularly nice day, with the thermometer already at 10.3, following an overnight minimum of 6.2. I'm going to do my first grass-cutting session of the year & whatever you're doing today, take full advantage of the weather & enjoy!
PITLOCHRY TODAY
There will be a mixture today of cloud patches & some sunshine. It will be breezy from the W. but temperatures should be around 5 degrees above the March average at 13 or 14 degrees. (In the shelter of the Grampians when the wind is in the west, parts of Aberdeenshire may hit 17 degrees).
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Partly cloudy, breezy & mild.
OUTLOOK
The next few days should be largely dry & mild, with a mixture of some cloudy spells, but also some intervals of sunshine.
