TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Not the best of Sundays!  In essence, it is expected to be rather cloudy at times & both cool & windy. There will also be showery outbreaks of rain around the area, perhaps more so to the north & west of Pitlochry. Much of any rain will tend to be on the light side, though later in the afternoon, showers could become more potent, though,as always, some spots will miss the worst.
Max.Temp. 16 ( average is more like 18.5),    Winds will be W to NW force 4 as an average, but with gusts in exposed spots up to force 6.  Overnight should be mainly dry, though lowest temperatures may be down to single figures (much more of a rarity last month).

OUTLOOK--MONDAY & TUESDAY

Mainly dry, though isolated showers possible. There should be cloud breaks & some sunny intervals. However, don't get too excited, as winds will remain in the NW, with daytime temperatures some 4 degrees below the normal for time of year. Nights will tend to feel chilly too, as temperatures fall into single figures---time to put on a little heating & perhaps close those windows which were essential  to keep open, during the many warm, humid nights in July.
