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.
The good news is that pressure is building from the SE & it's going to get warmer.  The not- so- good news is that the airstream over us is very moist & mainly cloudy.
TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
The emphasis is much more on cloud than on sunshine, moreover, a few patches of slight rain or drizzle cannot be totally ruled out. But, for much of the time it should be dry, winds will be S force 2 & it will feel rather warm (maximum 15 or 16 ). The night should be very mild, though low cloud & patchy drizzle are likely.
