TUESDAY 19th APRIL

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
 Overcast at present, but temperature up to 10.4. The garden seems happy with the 3.3mms that fell at this site (mostly in a short sharp shower around 0015Hrs) There were several showers around the region last evening & overnight, so fewer bone-dry gardens remaining.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Cloudy for a time this morning, but it should then brighten, with broken cloud & some sunny intervals. During the afternoon, there is again a risk of a shower or two. Still on the warm side for April, with highest temperatures around 16 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Possibly a shower still around during the evening, but mainly dry overnight, but with low cloud off the North Sea. Minimum temperature around 6 degrees.

OUTLOOK
The next few days are likely to start with some low cloud off the North Sea, but this should clear to leave some sunny spells, with daytime temperatures above the April average. There should be no frost & little or no rainfall.
