BELOW TODAY'S PAGE, IS A FEATURE ON GLOBAL WARMING + A GRAPH SHOWING THE RECENT RUN OF TEMPERATURES AT THIS SITE.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Partly cloudy, though bright at times with some sunshine. Unfortunately, as yesterday, threatening clouds are likely to build up, with some places getting a drenching, while others stay dry. We caught the edge of a big shower around 2.30 on Sunday, but here, the tiny amount that fell,did nothing for the dry garden & I was out at 7.30am watering baskets that urgently needed the kiss of life. One of my daughters in London tells me she was " flooded yesterday"

Maximum 17 (pleasant in the sunshine)    Wind light to moderate W to SW     Overnight minimum  9

OULOOK---More of the same mix, though by Thursday/ Friday, a depression moving W out of the continent makes for a forecaster's nightmare. Watch this space!!
