WED 15th APR

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!

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

Tuesday proved a very reasonable April day locally. SW winds brought above average temperatures
& though skies were mostly rather cloudy, there was virtually no rainfall & the sun put in fleeting appearances.   There were considerable contrasts, however, both across England & Scotland.

Warmest place  Shoeburyness 22.8     Coldest place  Carterhouse  8.9    Wettest  Achnagart  64.6mm

A little fresher this morning & there were showers earlier, but there should be plenty of dry & sunny weather to come. Only up to about 12 degrees here ( double that for London)
Plenty of dry weather to come, as high pressure stubbornly hangs around---ideal for gardening, sitting in conservatories (reading the newspaper about all the goodies we've been promised!!)or perhaps climbing Ben Vrackie with excellent visibility.
