TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Well, the cool weather continues & taken alongside the rainfall total already this month, I would think that August will turn out to be the poorest of the 3 summer months this year  (June/July/August). Of course, I know only too well, that one man's "good" month can be another man's poor month!! (The number of times my cordial greeting to a local of "miserable morning" or "nippy this morning" has more often than not been "contested"!! Enough said.
It should remain mainly dry today, though there may well be the odd shower behind Ben Vrackie, over the Cairngorms. It will be partly cloudy, but there should at least be some spells of sunshine, The breeze from the NW will feel cool ( to most of us!).
Max. Temp.15 (3.5 degrees down from normal)    Wind NW3      Overnight low 5 (though varying considerably between locations).

WEDNESDAY---Mainly dry, broken cloud, remaining cool for time of year. An approaching front may give more cloud & a little rain by evening.
THURSDAY---Mainly cloudy with rain at times & staying very cool.
