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.   An excellent day again yesterday. Maximum temperatures well exceeded forecasts from all sources!!      I notice that a couple of private weather-forecasting companies are predicting a long & vicious winter;-- the Press love such articles !! Lets hope they're hopelessly wrong. Nothing to alarm in the Met.Office 30-day forecast. I hope they've learnt their lessons about sticking their necks out!
