A cloudy & quite cold start to the day, with my ground minimum down to -4.9. ( Not all gardens will have gone down to these levels, especially where the cold air can readily drain away down a slope). I was reading a weather article yesterday, which referred to March 1965, when apparently the temperature on the 29th, proved to be the HIGHEST of the ENTIRE YEAR in some spots in N.E. England.(Doesn't say much for the SUMMER that year!!)
PITLOCHRY TODAY
After a cloudy start, the day should remain mostly dry, with cloud breaks developing to give some sunny spells. It will again be on the mild side, with a maximum of 11 degrees.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
This period is expected to stay dry & there should be some breaks in the cloud. Most places will have a ground frost, while the air temperature in some spots falls close to freezing. Some mist patches are also likely.
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY should remain mostly dry, with some cloud patches & occasional sunny intervals. The following few days are likely to be more changeable, with some rain around, though temperatures should be on the mild side, with frost unlikely.
