THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
High pressure is now well to the west of Ireland & in this position, gives a NW airflow, inevitably less warm, though still ensuring dry weather. It is likely to feel distinctly colder over the weekend, with Saturday likely to see the least sunshine.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYGenerally cloudy during the morning. perhaps a few sunny spells developing during the afternoon. Feeling much colder, with temperatures struggling to reach 10 or 11 degrees, though this is near to the late March average!! It will be close to frost levels overnight.
