MONDAY 11th JULY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A weak front is still affecting the area at present, but pressure is building & should gradually kill off the showers & see the back of this very unsettled period that has been around since the 5th. So an improvement to come, if only temporary, as the longer -term outlook for July would appear to be very changeable, with no signs of a prolonged warm & settled spell!!

PITLOCHRY TODAY
There should be some good dry spells today, with intervals of sunshine, but also just a few scattered showers about.
Winds will be fairly light, mostly from N or NW & maximum temperatures should reach about 17 degrees, a touch down on yesterday.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
There should be some evening sunshine, followed by clear spells overnight. It is likely to be a little cooler overnight than recently, with a minimum of about 7 or 8 degrees.

OUTLOOK
Apart from the chance of an odd shower, the next few days should see the benefit from high pressure building, with mainly dry conditions, clearer skies & more in the way of sunshine, though this will be a temporary improvement, with no hot spells on the horizon.
