OUTLOOK LOCALLY---MON 11th to THURS. 14th JUNE
Pressure will be slowly rising during this period, as something of a ridge of high pressure builds in from the west. Having said that, don't expect anything great!
Winds will tend to have a N to NE element, giving suppressed daytime temperatures, in the range 11 to 13. Most days will be partly cloudy, so relatively brief spells of sunshine.
It will, however, be dry for much of the time with relatively small rainfall totals overall.
RE. WELSH FLOODS
The worst-affected areas had around 5 inches of rain in 24hrs. This is more than the entire months of Feb.+ March + May had  in Pitlochry this year!----Certainly puts things into perspective!
