A fair amount of dry weather, with some intervals of sunshine, but some risk of the odd shower, especially as cloud builds somewhat during the afternoon. Even if Pitlochry remains dry, places not too far away may catch a sharp shower. Highest temperatures should reach about 10 degrees, with winds from the NE force 2 or 3. During the night, a spell of rain will spread across from the E, perhaps giving some significant totals & lasting into Friday morning.

YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYGenerally rather cloudy with just a few intervals of sunshine. We were again lucky in missing the worst of the showers, with again only a few light ones. It was yet again, on the cool side of the seasonal norm.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
The centre of low pressure is over East Anglia & is influencing weather conditions throughout the U.K. Scotland is in a NE airflow, being on the north side of the low.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYProbably a cloudy, wet start to Friday, following a rather wet night. As the day goes on, there should be a return of the sunny intervals & some scattered showers regime. Still cooler than normal.
