THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
A very disturbed-looking weather chart this morning, with a deep depression just to the W. of Ireland. This is expected to move over the English Channel by tomorrow. Many parts of Britain are feeling the effects of the strong winds around the depression, but most of Scotland is not affected by these.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYDry for much of the time, with some bright or sunny intervals, but the odd sharp shower is possible. It will still be a little on the cool side of average.
