 Rather cloudy, though perhaps some brightness at times this morning. There may be the odd light shower around at first, but more significant rain is likely from late afternoon. Breezy but  mild today(around 13 or 14 degrees)

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The period will be cloudy with spells of rain. This will be continuous & heavy to the west of us, with considerably less near to the East Coast  .Pitlochry can expect a fairly wet period, though with some spells of lighter & more patchy rain. It will remain mild.

Cloudy with some residual rain at first on WEDNESDAY, but some drier, brighter weather during the day. Further rain by evening, but at least it should be mild.  LATER in the WEEK, as high pressure builds, the weather should become dry & settled.
