MONDAY 4th JULY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A bit frustrating at present, to find a sheet of North Sea low cloud over the area, an unfortunate feature of  the weather in our part of the country when winds come off the cool North Sea during an otherwise warm, settled spell. Give it time; it should start to break later in the morning----but remember, this is the final day of the current settled spell.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Some low cloud from the North Sea affecting the area to start the day. This should break up later to give another dry, warm day, with patchy cloud & some sunny spells. Maximum temperatures should reach around 23 degrees, with gentle breezes from the S.E.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A dry warm evening, will be followed by a dry night with broken cloud. (There is just an outside chance of a shower, more likely over the mountains to the north of us). Lowest temperature around 10 degrees.

OUTLOOK
 TUESDAY will be a cloudier & cooler day, with some rain around later, though most of this only light. Temperatures about 5 or 6 degrees down on today's.
WEDNESDAY will be mostly cloudy & cool with spells of rain.
