A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY, USING PREVIOUS MET OFFICE CLIMATE STATION EXPERIENCE. FORECASTING IS BASED ON MET OFFICE & BBC MATERIAL, WHICH IS THEN TAILORED FOR THE PITLOCHRY AREA, USING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Probably dry for the first couple of hours, but thereafter, there is again a shower risk. We may get very little, we may take a hit from a big shower & even sophisticated rainfall radar can't pinpoint, in advance, just who will catch what!. There will be some dry spells with sunny intervals, but temperatures will still be about 2 degrees down on the late April average.Winds light, mainly E or SE.

YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYWe had a surprisingly lucky day for missing showers, as once again, the region's radar chart was plastered with them. Still, as I always say, it's very much hit & miss with showers (misses on Thurs & Sat & a hit on Friday!)
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
1 low dying in the North Sea, a 2nd moving into the English Channel & a 3rd into the SW approaches by Wednesday. All a recipe for unsettled conditions, with cool E or NE winds for the week ahead.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYAnother day of dry spells with some sunshine, interspersed with more cloudy bands with some showers. Still cool with a force 3 NE breeze.
