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
Nothing more encouraging on offer! It is likely to be rather cloudy for much of the time, with some scattered showers around & about.Some dry intervals, with the odd sunny spell are also likely, perhaps more so during the evening..Maximum temperatures will be pegged around 10 degrees, with force 2 or 3 winds, mainly from the east.   The stormy-looking nature of the pressure charts at present is more in keeping with mid-winter than April & there seems little prospect of anything better for the rest of the month.
