MON. 8th SEPT.

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.         APOLOGIES FOR TODAY'S DELAY  (observations were still made at 9am)

The weather in all parts of Britain is notorious for it's changeability & variability, but just occasionally, meteorologists get the opportunity to be confident about SOME (though never all) aspects of the expected weather.
So, it is with a higher level of certainty than usual, to say---- HIGH PRESSURE WILL TOTALLY DOMINATE THIS WEEK'S WEATHER & POSSIBLY PART OF NEXT WEEKS & THIS MEANS VIRTUALLY NO RAINFALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS  AHEAD.

THERE'S ALSO A MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE ABOUT DAYTIME TEMPERATURES, WITH HIGHS IN A FAIRLY NARROW RANGE OF AROUND 15 to 18.  WINDS ON MOST DAYS ARE LIKELY TO BE LIGHT OR MODERATE. 

AS FOR THE UNCERTAINTIES----CLOUD AMOUNTS  & MINIMUM TEMPERATURES, WITH THE TWO BEING VERY MUCH LINKED---CLEAR NIGHTS ARE USUALLY COLDER.
