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 gave some much-needed rainfall (tourists won't agree). Some places to the east of Pitlochry had exceptionally heavy showers, a glance at the regional radar at the time, showing exactly where, but it's very much a hit & miss affair. Forecasting that torrential rain will move from place A to place B is a very dangerous assumption. Thunderstorms can quickly weaken or indeed intensify, they can change direction slighty & hardly affect a town that was predicted to get the full works. Forecasters' faces are then covered with egg.
The general rule about torrential thundery downpours is that high ground is more vulnerable & places right next to the sea are less likely to get the worst. Another rule is that the heavier the rain, the smaller the area affected, though bearing in mind my article on global warming, these assumptions may gradually become of less significance. * NEW*
At 2pm, the temperature here was 22.0. This data & a few more facts & figures are already sent to WOW. The 2pm data in this region & beyond will appear.
CLICK on the WOW LINK & hopefully, with a bit of the usual fiddling, You should be able to find what interests you.
DON'T FORGET THE 2 NEW LINKS----PITLOCHRY should be on WOW till 10am & perhaps one or two updates later on.
For longer outlook periods,surface pressure charts, mountain weather & severe weather warnings, go to the Met Office's regional forecasts and click the relevant headings.
