A dry start at half past eight, but rain is already "knocking on the door". I will do some figures later, for the "state of play" at the half- way stage in March.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A cloudy day ahead, with rain soon arriving from the SW& persisting for a few hours. There may be some drier intervals late in the day. It will again be somewhat on the cold side, with highest temperatures pegged to about 5 degrees, with a fresh SE breeze. It is just possible there may be a few flakes of snow mixed in with the heavier rain, but accumulations of snow today are reserved for ground above about 250m.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Cloudy for the most part, perhaps with a little rain left over, but becoming dry overnight, with temperatures close to zero or +1.
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY is likely to be rather cloudy, but mainly dry. There may be a few bright intervals in the afternoon. Feeling a touch milder at 6 or7 degrees. THURSDAY & FRIDAY will become rather colder again.
