 I have noticed how quickly my lawn is growing!  A ground frost last night & some 4.5 degrees colder now, than at this time yesterday.However, it is beautifully sunny at present.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
A mainly dry day, with just the chance of a shower. After a largely clear start, cumulus clouds will develop during the day. It will be a touch colder than yesterday, with highest temperature reaching around 11 or 12 degrees, with a fresh breeze from the W or NW.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The evening should be dry with some sunshine & there will be some clear spells through the night. An increase in cloud is expected later. It will again be chilly, with ground frost likely.

OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY promises to be more cloudy, with some rain, though it is likely that amounts will only be small, with dry spells too.THE REST OF THE WEEK looks changeable, but any rain may well be only light & patchy.
