THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
An anticyclone continues to dominate Britain's weather & it is expected to remain dry for several days yet. However, the high pressure will gradually migrate further west & this will allow cooler air to invade from the NW.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYAnother dry & sunny day. It will again start cold & misty, but afternoon temperatures should again be well above average & in the range 18 to 20 degrees.
