WEDNESDAY 8th JUNE

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
6.3mms of rain yesterday from late afternoon/early evening showers.Broken cloud this morning & dry at present. Once again, we came rather close to a ground frost last night.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
It's still sunshine & showers.although it should be dry for a time. Because it is impossible to forecast more than an hour or two ahead whether any one spot is lined up for a shower, I suggest you check raintoday.co.uk to see if Pitlochry is threatened by a heavy shower (they are moving from between S & SE ). There should be rather more sunshine around today, with perhaps a peak in shower activity between mid afternoon & mid-evening. Highest temperatures should reach near to 15 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Still a shower risk, especially in the first part of the evening. Some sunny intervals, then clearing skies overnight. Minimum temperature around 6 degrees.

OUTLOOK
THURSDAY will see a similar recipe of sunshine & showers, though perhaps fewer showers around. Winds more into the S.W.& a bit fresher. Still cool at 13 to 14 degrees, with a chilly night to follow.
FURTHER AHEAD---Perhaps a bit less emphasis on the shower risk, as the low centre causing the problem, moves further away. No great shakes yet on daytime temperatures!
