TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
An overnight rain belt is now nearly through & there will be some dry interludes, perhaps with a few sunny intervals. However, several lines of showers are expected to move across from the E & it seems inevitable that a few will affect Pitlochry, especially during the p.m. period. There should, however, be some dry intervals with a glimpse of the sun, though hail/thunder are possibilities should we be in the path ot the worst of the showers. Maximum temperature 9or 10 & winds rather light & variable in direction.

YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYAnother day when Pitlochry largely escaped much of the rain & showers around the region, with places such as Blairgowrie & Perth with higher rainfall totals.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
Low pressure will be either over or very close to Britain over the next 3 days, giving very variable amounts of rain from place to place, as bands of rain or showers move across from the east. It will remain rather cool.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYThere will be some dry spells with sunny intervals around, but also some scattered heavy showers, especially p.m.  As usual, rainfall amounts will be very variable from one place to another. It will remain on the cool side of average, with force 2 or 3 winds from an E. quarter. SUNDAY'S weather remains a mixture of sunshine but with heavy showers round & about. Rather cool out of any sunshine.
