FRIDAY 10th JUNE

HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
 Drought orders have been issued today for parts of Eastern England, especially East Anglia, following a record dry spring. (March to May rain in Pitlochry was 184.6mms---so no such problems in our neck of the woods!). It was decidely nippy last night, with the air temperature down to 1.0 & ground value down to -2.9.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
 Probably dry with some sunshine for much of the morning, but with clouds starting to build. There will be some showers around this afternoon & hail or thunder are possibilities. Places within short distances of one another could have large differences in rainfall amounts received. Winds will be light, showers will move slowly from south to north, highest temperatures will reach around 15 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Any showers dying out during the evening to give some clear spells. A chilly night once again, with perhaps the odd pocket of ground frost.

OUTLOOK
Sunshine & showers seem likely for SATURDAY.  More general rain could spread into the area from the south later on SUNDAY. Best temperatures in the 14 to 16 range.
