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.

Yesterday's disappointing weather left me with no alternative but to watch 2 Cup Finals!  First of all, congratulations to the local team for their well-deserved victory against Dundee United. It was one of the most entertaining matches I have ever seen!  Pity there had to be a loser,especially with some of my family at Celtic Park being United fans.  To switch channels soon after 5pm & find Hull City already 2 up on Arsenal at a sunny Wembley was the shock of the day. My son-in law is an avid " red & white" supporter & only found peace of mind during extra time against Hull City.
Despite the persistent cloud here yesterday, while the bulk of the U.K. had sunny, warm weather, we were at least limited to very small rainfall amounts. Tyndrum caught over 15mms.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Hopefully, a cloudy morning should become a brighter & warmer afternoon, though the best of what's going is likely to be close to the East Coast.  Best keep away from Western areas of the country where cloud & rain are likely to be fairly persistent, feeling the full effect of Atlantic fronts. Rain is not expected in Pitlochry during daylight hours.
Max. temp 16 or 17   Winds S 2 to 4      Lowest overnight temperature 9.

OUTLOOK---Changeable, with some cloud & rain on occasions, but also some brighter, warmer spells.
