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. My early impressions re. the storm in Southern England is --perhaps not quite as bad as it might have been. The Met Office have usually erred on the side of pessimism since the Oct 1987 storm, when they seriously under-estimated. At least we were told many days ago that Scotland wouldn't be affected.by this one.
