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.     Pressure will be generally low to the north of Scotland, maintaining a showery SW air flow. Most of the showers will fall over western areas, but occasionally, passing trough lines will encourage showers to spread further east, even giving rise to frequent & heavier showers affecting our area (this likely today for instance). Winds for a few days will remain in a W to SW direction, sometimes fresh (force 4 or 5). No major low pressure systems with active fronts & more extensive rain, threaten us until later on Sunday. There should be longer spells of dry weather, with only well-scattered showers, during Friday & for much of the weekend. Still rather cold by day & most nights having a touch of frost.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
A bright start, though with valley mist fairly extensive at present. The morning is likely to see the lion's share of the dry, bright weather, as more cloudy skies & showers spread from the west during the afternoon, with further showers both during the evening & overnight. Winds will be mainly from S or SW, generally moderate later, occasionally stronger in association with showery periods. Maximum temperatures around 6 & down to 2 or 3 overnight.
