Yesterday, Leuchars reached an impressive 28.9 degrees, though from today, is vulnerable to cooling breezes off the North Sea. High pressure is expected to remain to the North of Scotland for most of next week, leaving us dry & settled but prone to some misty low cloud especially overnight & in the early mornings, as well as continuing sunny spells & temperatures above normal. Western Scotland should be well-favoured in such a pressure pattern.
TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Dry, with long sunny periods. Becoming very warm, maximum temperature around 25. The wind will settle into the SE & this means its origins are from a  much cooler North Sea.  OVERNIGHT, misty low cloud will later spread in from the North Sea, perhaps hanging on for a while into tomorrow morning.
