FRIDAY 22nd APRIL----EVENING

UPDATE @ 1730Hrs
The early low cloud cleared rapidly, then it was mainly sunny. It took a while for temperatures to climb, but they did so eventually, reaching 19.6 degrees (about 8 degrees above the April long-term average & similar to an average JULY day in Pitlochry).   With sea fog in the Tay estuary for a while & breezes off the cool North Sea. Dundee Airport spent much of the afternoon on just 11 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A sunny evening & dry for a time overnight, but later a band of rain is expected to move into the area from the west. Rainfall amounts may be more significant than for some time, so gardeners could well be pleased by this forecast.  Mild overnight.

OUTLOOK
SATURDAY---Much more cloudy than today & cooler, though still above the April norm. Less in the way of sunshine with a likelihood of some showers or even longer spells of rain. Probably some drier spells too.
SUNDAY----Rather cloudy at times with a little rain likely. Some dry spells too & still rather warm for April.
