SATURDAY 14th MAY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Apologies for yesterday! The whole network which hosts my blog was down with technical problems
A listing of the key readings taken at 0900Hrs yesterday  appears in the table below (to the left of todays).   Dry, with broken cloud at present, but with a fresh WNW wind.


PITLOCHRY TODAY
Dry for much of the morning, with some sunshine, though cloud tending to bubble up. There will be showers around this afternoon, which could be heavy. There should still be some broken cloud & sunny intervals around too. Rather breezy from the W or NW & cool outside of the sunshine. Maximum temperatures close to 14 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Any showers around at first dying out, with some sunshine this evening & clear spells overnight. Rather cold, with prone spots perhaps seeing a touch of ground frost.

OUTLOOK
SUNDAY will become generally cloudy with some slight, patchy rain for a time. Temperatures about 14 at their highest. Thereafter, it will be rather unsettled to start the week, with spells of rain or showers at times. Daytime temperatures will tend to fall with time & the nights may just see a ground frost, though only in the most prone locations.
