YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRY
A couple of lessons to learn from yesterday! 1. High pressure is no guarantee of blue skies & sunshine. Pitlochry can often be troubled with winds blowing off the North Sea bringing sea fog or a layer of stratocumulus cloud,even with a little rain, with barometers reading sky-high. 2.(More positive)--Even in a very cold airstream, a decent layer of cloud cover can provide a very effective blanket for keeping frost at bay--as almost happened last night. Evidence of slight snow grains on the lawn.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
A huge high pressure system remains over N.Russia keeping Atlantic fronts at bay.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
A mixture of a little brightness & broken cloud & more cloudy spells. Remaining cold with best temperatures around 3. Winds force 2 or 3 from the E. or N.E. Frost if any clear spells.
