THURSDAY 17th JULY

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.

Took me ages to wash this morning (so much egg on my face, after yesterday;  probably my worst 
forecast in my time in Pitlochry!)

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Dry, partly cloudy (a lot of high-level cirrus cloud at present), so not wall to wall sunshine. However it should feel warm later & humid as well.

Max.Temp,  20 or 21        Wind   light & variable ( sea breeze later on coast & Tay estuary)    Min.temp  12

OUTLOOK---Warm both by day & night, with some dry spells & sunny intervals. Humidity will be high & sleeping will be difficult for many. There is also a high shower risk from Friday evening onwards. Potentially, many of the showers could be at least as bad as on Wednesday afternoon, with hail,thunder & localised flooding,
BEST KEEP AN EYE ON RAINFALL RADAR (click on new Met Office link ( NOT WOW---which does not have rainfall radar).
