There will be no further updates for a few days.
It is recommended that readers use some of the many links to obtain data & local, regional & national forecasts.
Several other weather websites in the region are also there to view.
When this Blog resumes, there will be a summary of September's weather, as well as Pitlochry data twice daily. There will also be occasional articles, as well as photographs with a landscape & weather bias from local & Scottish sources.
Nowadays, there is a plethora of private companies online, providing weather forecasts, some specifically for Pitlochry, though based on data not actually obtained from this locality. This blog (a website that retains all its published material for later viewing ), is the only source of meteorological data, coming from Pitlochry, taken under Met Office Climate Station conditions, that is readily available to the public.

HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
Yes---the professionals have been somewhat over-optimistic for our neck of the woods. See details below.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A few parts of the wider region are already into sunshine, but as for Pitlochry, there's still a bit of waiting to do before we see the blue skies & sunshine. Already rather warm out there, however, at close on 15. Should reach 21 in afternoon sunshine.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Dry, some sunshine & a very mild night, staying well into double figures.
OUTLOOK
THURSDAY----Disappointing, with more cloud from a front & even a little rain possible during the afternoon. Still feeling rather warm & muggy.
FRIDAY----Hopefully, warm with some sunny spells
SATURDAY----Going downhill with a spell of rain
SUNDAY----Cooler & generally returning to a more unsettled regime in the week ahead.
So its a pretty quick "Hello & Goodbye" to a late taste of summer!

TUESDAY 27th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1830Hrs
A cloudy day, with most of today's 1.9mms of rain falling this morning. The maximum temperature reached 15.5 & was still rising at 1830H. It still appears that we have 3 summer-like days to look forward to, starting tomorrow, though there may be a temporary hiccup with a rain band on Thursday.

Remaining generally cloudy, with just the chance of the odd patch of light rain or drizzle, though dry for a lot of the night. Very mild, with the thermometer hardly falling at all
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY--- Soon becoming sunny with temperatures into the low 20's.
THURSDAY----Still warm, though a weak front may attempt to give a more cloudy spell with some rain for a time.
FRIDAY---Should be similar to Wednesday.

MONDAY 26th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1915Hrs
A very reasonable day, with broken cloud & some sunshine. Pitlochry appears to have caught an isolated shower around 1500Hrs. I was between Perth & Dundee & it stayed dry, with a fair amount of sunshine ( the price we pay at times for living amongst the hills & mountains!) Highest temperature, 14.9.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Well broken cloud this evening & for the first part of the night, then becoming cloudy, with some light & patchy rain or drizzle. Temperatures falling while it's clear but rising with the cloud towards dawn. Minimum 7.
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY----An east/west split across the county, with Pitlochry on the boundary likely to be partly cloudy, with fairly small amounts of rain, a few drier & brighter slots. Further west, more cloud & more rain---further east, less cloud, more sunshine & very little in the way of rain. Pitlochry should reach around 17, so up on today.
WEDNESDAY----Warmest day for weeks!! Maximum around 22.

MONDAY 26th SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
Looks like a spell of warm settled weather on the horizon for the whole of the U.K. This is courtesy of an area of high pressure over Europe, feeding warm, Mediterranean/ N.African air in our direction. Probably Wednesday to Saturday the best days for it. Today promising too, but not particularly warm & tomorrow a bit more changeable.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
An outside chance of a shower this morning, but otherwise, a dry day in prospect with well broken cloud & spells of sunshine.Highest temperature 15 or 16.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A fine evening followed by a dry night, though there may be more cloud & a little rain by morning. Mild overnight, with a low of 9.
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY----A west/ east split, with Pitlochry in the middle. Probably rather cloudy here with a little rain on occasions, though some brighter, drier spells too. More rain further west & the brightest, driest conditions towards the East coast. Mild at 16.
WEDNESDAY ONWARDS----The best weather of September! Temperatures up to 21 to 23

SATURDAY 24th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1700Hrs
Quite a pleasant day, with well-broken cloud & some spells of sunshine. A pity there were a couple of nuisance- value showers mid/late afternoon when I was mowing the lawn! The highest temperature reached 17.1 which is good for late September, but the coast appears to have had more sunshine & higher temperatures.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Perhaps another light shower in the next hour or so, but otherwise dry with breaks in the cloud. Fairly mild overnight, with a low of about 8.
OUTLOOK
SUNDAY----The morning will be the best part of the day, with some sunshine around. During the afternoon, cloud will increase from the south west, with rain arriving by or before evening. It is then likely to be wet, with moderate or heavy rain, though becoming drier as the night goes on. Windy.
MONDAY----Any rain left over should soon give way to a mainly dry day, with broken cloud & sunny intervals. Still on the breezy side.

THURSDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1800Hrs
The showers stayed mainly in the west, but we were rather cloudy for much of the time. The top temperature was a below-normal 13.0. Had a red squirrel on my bird table earlier this evening!
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry & bright this evening, with only the slight chance of a light shower. Overnight, it is likely to become more cloudy, but only small amounts of rain are expected, most of it having fallen over the high ground to the west. It will be a mild night & somewhat breezier later on. Minimum temperature 9,
OUTLOOK
FRIDAY----Generally cloudy, but any rain is likely to be light & patchy. It will be breezy from the south, but a little milder than today. Highest temperature around 15.
SATURDAY----Perhaps an overhang of rain to start Saturday, but broken cloud & some sunny intervals later. SUNDAY looks reasonable at present.

THURSDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Rather autumnal out there, with a nip in the air. This morning's rainfall radar shows dozens of showers out west & plenty of clear sky on the eastern side.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Lots of showers in the west & none near the east coast at present. Pitlochry is in the "border zone", so probably one or two showers,these mostly fairly light. Partly cloudy, with some sunny intervals at times, with more sunshine nearer to the East coast. A classic day for places like Perth & Dundee being 2 degrees warmer than Pitlochry (altitude + sunshine amounts ), so about 14 here & 16 in Perth & Dundee. Winds W to SW, mainly moderate, occasionally fresh.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The period should be dry to start with & there should be cloud breaks. Later on, it will become mainly cloudy, with a little patchy light rain. Temperatures holding up at 8.
OUTLOOK
FRIDAY----Cloudy & wet in the west. Mostly cloudy with a few patches of lightish rain around Pitlochry. Mostly dry near the East coast, with a few breaks in the cloud.

WEDNESDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Nice to see some sunshine to start the day, for a change. Reasonable prospects for the next 48hrs!

TUESDAY 13th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1700Hrs
The rain has carried on relentlessly in much of Western Scotland; very little has made it this far east, just 1.2mms having fallen since 0830Hrs. The highest temperature has been a rather below average 14.1.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A little more rain likely on occasions during the early part of the evening, but this should eventually die out, leaving a dry night with a few clear spells, lowest temperature around 7 or 8.
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY----It may start bright & dry, but there is a possibility that a rain area to the north could just affect Pitlochry for a time. This forecast will need firming up in the morning. Further south should see a dry, bright day.
THURSDAY----Promises to be the best day of the week, dry with broken cloud & some sunny intervals, though temperatures no better than normal for mid-September.

TUESDAY 13th SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
Most of the "action" appeared to be further south yesterday. There were some very heavy rainfall totals further west eg Tyndrum had 117.6mms in the past 48hrs up till 2100Hrs last night (more than twice as much as Pitlochry's had so far this month ).
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Generally cloudy & the rain in the west of our region, is occasionally likely to penetrate as far as Pitlochry, though should stay fairly light, with some dry spells too. It will still be breezy & highest temperatures should reach around 14 or 15.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Becoming dry with some clear spells developing. Lowest temperature around 7 or 8.
OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY----Broken cloud, with some intervals of sunshine & lighter winds. There may occasionally be more cloudy patches, with perhaps the odd light shower, but the emphasis is on dry weather. Highest temperatures around 15.
THURSDAY----Light winds, variable amounts of cloud with some sunshine at times. Temperatures up to 15 or 16.

MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1800Hrs
Pitlochry appears to have got off lightly as far as the predicted high winds are concerned. I've had a look at the 1700Hrs reports of wind gusts from a number of Scottish stations, but my impression is that things could have been a lot worse. Anyway, best check the Scottish evening news to check what disruption there might have been. Rainfall today was 4.3mms, while the highest temperature was 14.5.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Windy throughout the night, with some veering of direction towards W or WNW. Still the likelihood of some more rain, but with time there should be more in the way of dry spells. Minimum temperature 9.
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY----Still windy, but some easing by afternoon. Most of tomorrow's rain will stay further west, with the chance of a few brighter spells here. Nevertheless, it will be rather cloudy at times & some showery rain may find its way across the mountains. Cool at about 14 or15.
WEDNESDAY----Some spells of broken cloud & a few sunny intervals, with less wind, but there could well be some cloudy patches producing a shower or two.

MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Peaceful at present, but again, pretty miserable, with overcast skies & drizzle. The wind is set to be at its strongest around late afternoon to mid-evening, but indications are that conditions will be more severe in & south of the Central Belt. Neverthe less, it may well be worth "battening down the hatches " (I've taken in the garden table & chairs----not that they've been used this summer!! )
PITLOCHRY TODAY
It will remain cloudy all day, with rain from time to time. Much of the rain locally will be fairly light & there may be the odd drier spell, though a few moderate outbreaks can't be ruled out. There will be considerably higher rainfall totals in the far west of our region. The wind will only be light to moderate at first., but during the afternoon, it will veer into the SW & strengthen, becoming near to gale force during the early- mid evening period. Those venturing further south, including Perth & Dundee, may find conditions a little more severe & potentially disruptive.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Remaining cloudy, with some further rain at times (much worse further west ) & very windy all night. Lowest temperature 9.
OUTLOOK
TUESDAY----Staying mostly cloudy, with some rain on occasions, perhaps more so later in the day. Rainfall amounts further west will give some very high totals. It will remain windy. Highest temperature 14 or 15.
WEDNESDAY----Broken cloud, sunny intervals, less windy, perhaps a shower or two. Colder overnight.

Ex hurricane Katia will be west of Ireland by midnight tonight, with a central pressure of 959mbs. By noon tomorrow, she will be to the N.W. of Scotland & by midnight Tuesday, over Shetland. The strongest winds will be found some distance to the south of the centre, where the isobars are most tightly packed. Most British Isles sea areas have gale severe gale or storm warnings. One or two N.W.sea areas can expect a spell of force 11 winds. Over land, the strongest winds are expected over an area from Ft. William across to the Tay, south to Cumbria to the Tees, probably between late afternoon to mid-evening.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Remaining overcast, with rain at times, mainly light & patchy, though possibly moderate at times early evening. Overnight, the rain will become heavier. It will be mild & winds from the south will become fresh. Minimum temperature 11.
MONDAY----Cloudy throughout, with rain at times, though far less than further west. There may be times when the rain is light & patchy. Winds will increase to give gales or severe gales later in the day, but there is every chance, that the highest gusts will occur further south. Best temperature about 14.
TUESDAY----Still windy, but skies should be more broken with some sunny intervals, though also some more cloudy, showery spells too. Feeling cool at 13.

SATURDAY 10th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1700Hrs
A most unfortunate day weather-wise for the Highland Games. Rainfall between 0900 & 1700hrs totalled 9.6mms (much of that before 1300hrs). Though rain during the afternoon was less heavy or persistent, it failed to die out completely until after 1500, while cloud breaks failed to appear until an hour or so after that. By 1700hrs, there were several blue patches to be seen, though the breeze had sprung up somewhat.At least it was warm for the time of year, with the maximum up to 18.1.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The evening & night promise to be mainly dry, with some breaks in the cloud. The lowest temperature is likely to be a very mild 12.
OUTLOOK
SUNDAY----A bright start, but cloud thickening from the south west, followed by spells of rain during the afternoon & evening & probably more rain overnight. It will be windier than today & not as warm, maximum near 15.
MONDAY----Overnight rain may linger into the morning, before broken cloud, sunny intervals & showers take over. It is likely to be VERY WINDY, ex-hurricane Katia having entered the S.W. flow across the Atlantic.

SATURDAY 10th SEPTEMBER
HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A warm front has brought a spell of rain during the night, but also introduced some very mild temperatures.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
The morning will be mostly cloudy, with some further rain on occasions. It will, however, feel very mild, with temperatures already around 15 degrees. During the afternoon, there may be some brightness or even a little sunshine, but it will still be rather cloudy at times & the occasional shower can't be ruled out. In any sunshine, the temperature could rise as high as 19, which is well above the early September average. So for the HIGHLAND GAMES, it's a case of perhaps a brolly needed, but not warm jumpers! UPDATE @ 1315Hrs----Remaining mostly cloudy, with little prospect of sunshine. There is likely to be some patchy light rain on occasions, though not amounting to much. Feeling rather warm at around 17 or 18.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry with a few sunny intervals, followed by some cloud breaks overnight. Staying mild.
OUTLOOK

THIS MORNING'S READINGS
The only online weather service using data recorded in Pitlochry. The data presented below comes from standard Met Office equipment however I also make use of an Automatic Weather Station.
AVERAGES & EXTREMES SEPTEMBER
A warm front has brought a spell of rain during the night, but also introduced some very mild temperatures.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
The morning will be mostly cloudy, with some further rain on occasions. It will, however, feel very mild, with temperatures already around 15 degrees. During the afternoon, there may be some brightness or even a little sunshine, but it will still be rather cloudy at times & the occasional shower can't be ruled out. In any sunshine, the temperature could rise as high as 19, which is well above the early September average. So for the HIGHLAND GAMES, it's a case of perhaps a brolly needed, but not warm jumpers! UPDATE @ 1315Hrs----Remaining mostly cloudy, with little prospect of sunshine. There is likely to be some patchy light rain on occasions, though not amounting to much. Feeling rather warm at around 17 or 18.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry with a few sunny intervals, followed by some cloud breaks overnight. Staying mild.

A close- up of Svartisen Glacier's snout, clearly shows that its area is reducing & that in the recent past, it would have covered the land to its left, which has clearly been ice-eroded.This glacier, like so many on the planet, is becoming a victim of Global Warming. Doubters about what is happening to our climate, should realize that there was never an expectation that there would never be any cold months (like last December)nor that every year would be warmer than the one before. Global warming is a slow process, with fluctuations & temporary reversals.
FRIDAY 9th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1845Hrs
A very poor day after yesterday, with persistent rain & drizzle this morning & though a drier afternoon, the cloud failed to break. Temperatures are at their highest now (13.1 & rising). At 1400 Hrs, Pitlochry was on 12.7, places on the Northumberland coast were at a pleasant 20, while Bridlington on the Yorkshire coast was up at 22, getting a dose of tropical air, behind a warm front.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mostly dry this evening, but generally cloudy. There will be a further spell of rain overnight, with temperatures remaining in double figures.
SATURDAY
There may still be some rain left over from the northward moving warm front first thing in the morning. It should, however, feel very mild & cloud is likely to break at times during the morning to give some sunny intervals. During the afternoon, there may be more cloudy spells with a few showers around. Temperatures should reach a warm 19 in an air mass that has originated much further south. UPDATE at 0900HRS

0845Hrs
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Overcast, with mainly very light & patchy rain or drizzle. This should die out during the afternoon, with perhaps some lifting & breaking of the cloud. It will begin to feel rather mild & muggy & in any afternoon brightness or sunny intervals, it may feel warm, with temperatures possibly up to 18.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Dry to start with, but further rain during the night. Very mild, with temperatures no lower than 12.
OUTLOOK
SATURDAY (PITLOCHRY HIGHLAND GAMES )----Overall, a somewhat unsettled picture, with a deep low pressure system to the west of Ireland. Rather cloudy at times & the morning may start off with an overspill of some of the overnight rain. As the morning goes on, there should be some limited intervals of sunshine, but a cold front is due through the area during the afternoon & this is likely to see a more cloudy spell, with showers for a time. Despite this, it should feel rather warm, with temperatures reaching 18. Winds will be fresh southerly.

A first glimpse of the Svartisen Glacier at latitude 66 43. This is Norway's 2nd largest glacier. The name "Svartisen"means "black ice" This glacier stands today as a living museum to the Ice Age & it is worth reflecting how the edge of the ice cap must have looked when 18,000 years ago it covered over half of the British Isles.
THURSDAY 8th SEPTEMBER----EVENING
HEADLINES @ 1930Hrs
It's been a pleasant day, with a reasonable amount of sunshine. The maximum temperature reached 17.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Cloud has filled in somewhat, at high & medium levels, heralding the approach of a couple of warm fronts. These will bring mainly patchy & light rain to our area later on in the night. Mild, with temperatures staying close to 9 or 10.
OUTLOOK
FRIDAY----The morning is likely to remain generally overcast, with a low cloud base & some rain at times. It is likely to become rather warm & humid & as cloud begins to lift & break to give some afternoon brightness, any sunshine could lift temperatures towards 18 or 19 as a maximum.
SATURDAY----Weather charts for Saturday, show a deep depression to the west of Ireland, with fresh S to SW winds ciculating round it. One or two fronts are scheduled to pass through, keeping conditions rather changeable. So for the HIGHLAND GAMES, it is likely to be partly cloudy with some sunny intervals, but also a chance of a shower or two. Winds will be around force 4 or 5 from the S or SW & temperatures will peak at around 18 or 19, which is warm for early September.
