TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Not easy to "spot-forecast" today. There is already some thundery activity as far north as the Berwickshire Coast. Much of the day will be cloudy, with sunny intervals at a premium. Scattered outbreaks of mainly light rain could occur this morning, though most of these will be further south than Pitlochry. More significant rain, perhaps heavy & thundery at times, is likely later in the day, possibly the greatest risk is during the evening.Amounts will vary from place to place, with localised flooding in some, but relatively little in others. It will still feel warm & humid during both day & night, with temperatures peaking around 20 or 21 & not falling below 15. Winds E to SE force 2 or 3.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

The next day or two should remain warm & humid, with more emphasis on cloud than significant sunshine & with the area still at risk from showers or longer spells of much-needed rain. Temperatures should be in a range 14 min. to 20 max. Winds will remain in an E.quadrant, mainly force 2 or 3, though with higher gusts in any heavy downpours.
The overall trend, before the end of the month, is for the weather to become cooler than of late & generally more unsettled.
