THURS 12th MARCH

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!

THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY

NW Scotland has taken a bit of a pounding of late & today follows in similar vein. The 0520 Shipping Forecast
(don't tell me you never listen to it!) was giving force 11/12 winds for sea areas Rockall & Bailey--enough to  frighten even the captain of the new cruise liner "Britannia"--if he were going that way!!
Mind you, Pitlochry ended up with its wettest day & coldest night this month so far   & this morning's E wind cuts right through you, with an even wetter day promised.
