UPDATE @ 1830Hrs
There was a good deal of dry weather around today, with spells of sunshine, but we were affected by a belt of showers at around 1330Hrs.Amounts varied within short distances; the centre of Perth didn't fare too badly, but a short distance up the A9 there were significant puddles. My sister-in-law & her husband had just ascended Craigower when the Heavens opened. The gauge here contained 0.5mms, enough for a soaking if it fell in a short space of time. Anyway, that's the way showers can be!!.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A dry evening is expected, but later in the night, a warm front will bring a little rain to the area, probably not amounting to much. No repeat of last night's frost, in fact rather mild.
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY will be rather cloudy, especially during the morning when a little patchy light rain is likely. This should die out as the morning progresses & there may be some breaks in the cloud during the afternoon & evening. It will be rather humid, so should feel quite warm in any afternoon sunshine.
THURSDAY & FRIDAY look promising days, with spells of sunshine & temperatures in the warm category

TUESDAY 31st MAY
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
There was an air frost with me overnight, the 4th this month (-0.5). According to Carol K.-- Braemar fell to -2.7.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A day of broken cloud & spells of sunshine. There could be an odd shower around, but these will be fairly isolated. It will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, though highest temperatures will be close to normal at 15 or 16 degrees.
WHAT WAS MAY REALLY LIKE? WAS APRIL ACTUALLY WARMER? SEE SUMMARY---COMING LATER
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
After a sunny start to the evening, cloud is expected to increase, with some mainly light & patchy rain following (probably the last for some time). Much milder overnight than the night just gone & a freshening S.W. breeze too.
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY---Probably an overhang of the night's rain to start the day, but this is likely to be spits & spots only. Later, clouds should break to give some sunny intervals during the afternoon, when it should begin to feel rather warm.
BEYOND---Dry with some sunshine & becoming warm. An area of high pressure @ 1036 mbs centred off E. Scotland will give several days of settled weather, but once E. winds set in, the east coast will be somewhat "bracing"

MONDAY 30th MAY----EVENING
UPDATE @ 1730Hrs
Pitlochry largely missed the heavy showers that were around & in the sunshine, it felt pleasant. Most of the heavier showers are currently well to the N.E. of our area. The day's highest temperature was 14.3, still below average, but all that is to change later in the week.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Just the chance of a shower, but in general it will be dry, with cloud tending to melt away. Clear skies & light winds are threatening to give us low overnight temperatures, at least a ground frost & a slight air frost in the most prone spots--so gardeners beware!
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY will be mostly dry, with broken cloud & sunny spells. A shower is just possible. Highest temperatures should reach around 14 or 15 degrees. Some rain will affect us overnight Tuesday, probably the last for some while.
By THURSDAY, it should be dry with some sunshine & much warmer, setting the trend for several days to come.

MONDAY 30th MAY
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A pleasant start to the day, though a slight ground frost here earlier on. Watch out for heavy afternoon showers & gardeners, cover up any tender young plants by dusk, especially if you are prone to frosts.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Much of the morning should remain dry, though cloud will be building, but allowing some sunny intervals. During the afternoon & early evening, there is an increased risk of some showers, which could well be heavy. They will also be slow moving, so some spots could have a large total of rain, while others get little---a good day for checking the radar. Winds today will be lighter & highest temperatures should reach around 14 or15 degrees (still below par for the closing days of May )
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Any showers dying out, with a calm, clear night to follow. frost, so A WIDESPREAD GROUND FROST IS LIKELY, WITH EVEN A SLIGHT AIR FROST IN A FEW PRONE SPOTS.
OUTLOOK
The last day of May is likely to be mainly dry (an odd shower possible), with broken cloud & some sunshine.
The new month will herald some drier,warmer weather, once overnight rain has cleared on Wednesday morning. Much higher temperatures seem likely from Thursday onwards.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Perhaps still the odd shower around & still windy, but the tendency is for dry& clear conditions overnight & for winds to decrease.Lowest temperatures will be around 6 degrees.
OUTLOOK
MONDAY will be a day of sunny spells & scattered showers & still cool & breezy, BUT--------*
* AN EARLY NOTICE OF SOME GOOD WEATHER!!! THE BBC ARE GIVING A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 21 DEGREES ON THURSDAY----COULD THAT BEAT APRIL 10th? *

A bit depressing out there at present, with low cloud & drizzle. Seems all the worse after that wonderful April!!
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Low cloud with a little drizzle at first this morning. Later this morning, it should become dry, with cloud lifting & breaking to give some sunshine & perhaps the odd shower this afternoon (these should not be as frequent as yesterday ). It will become windy, with gusts up to at least force 6 on occasions, as a low pressure centre passes over Northern Scotland, tightening the isobars & causing a strong W. flow. Remaining rather cool, with best temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Any showers around should die out & the night will become dry with clear spells. Lowest temperatures will fall to around 5 or 6 degrees & the wind will gradually die down.
OUTLOOK
MONDAY promises to be another day of sunshine & showers. It will be rather breezy, as well as cool.
TUESDAY should see more sunshine & fewer if any showers.
INTO JUNE---the month may begin with some rain on wednesday, but temperatures are then expected to rise somewhat.

SATURDAY 28th MAY----EVENING
UPDATE @ 1800Hrs
A classic sunshine & showers day, though with only 0.4mms to measure up to 1800hrs, one would have to admit the showers were more of nuisance value. It was breezy & still cool, with today's best temperature only 12.7 degrees.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A shower is still just possible during the next hour or so, but it should become dry with clear spells. Later in the night, cloud will increase from the S.W. with some rain, mainly light & occasional following. Lowest temperature about 6 degrees.
OUTLOOK
SUNDAY will see some light & patchy rain for a time during the morning. Later, cloud should lift & break to give some sunny intervals & perhaps a few showers. It is likely to become windy & remain cool for late May.
MONDAY will be a day of sunshine & showers, TUESDAY will be mainly dry, but temperatures by day are likely to be below what should be expected on both these days.
