MONDAY 31st OCTOBER----EVENING
For longer outlook periods,surface pressure charts, mountain weather & severe weather warnings, go to the Met Office's regional forecasts and click the relevant headings.
HEADLINES @ 1630Hrs
A cloudy, breezy day, with virtually no sunshine. On the credit side, there's been very little rain & the thermometer has reached a very mild 15.1. At 1300Hrs, Kinloss on the Moray Firth reached 19, a respectable figure for July (caused by moist S. winds descending from off the Cairngorms )
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A band of rain will move across later this evening, clearing later in the night. In the clearer conditions behind the front, temperatures are expected to fall to a low of 6 or 7.
TUESDAY
A rather fresher day, with broken cloud & some sunshine. Maximum temperature around 11 or 12. A good day for a visit to the East Coast, which should get the lion's share of the sunshine.

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
The mild theme continues & I'm sure I will be reporting a warmer than normal October in the month's summary out tomorrow. If you feel like some sunshine & temperatures up to 18 today, why not try the southern shores of the Moray Firth, from Inverness to Elgin? ----a particularly favoured area in today's conditions.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Often rather cloudy, with a little rain on occasions, but there should also be some drier, brighter spells too. Very mild, with a moderate to fresh southerly breeze & a maximum temperature of 15--well above average.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Some rain spreading from the west, but clearing before dawn. Minimum temperature falling in the clearer conditions following the rain, to around 6.
TUESDAY
Looks like a dry day, with some sunshine, though feeling fresher. Particularly nice on the East Coast.

HEADLINES @ 1830Hrs
Rather cloudy, with a few nuisance-value showers this morning. This afternoon saw cloud thinning, lifting & breaking to give some pleasant sunny intervals. There was a rewarding vista at Queen's View this afternoon, with very good visibility & the trees looked beautiful in their Autumn colourings. Today's highest temperature was 11.2
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Just the chance of a light evening shower, but that apart, it should be dry throughout, with some clear spells. It is likely to be quite chilly by dawn, with air temperatures down to about 3 or 4 with local ground frost & mist bands in the valley bottoms & slopes.
FRIDAY
Dry & bright with some sunshine, though starting cold. Highest temperature around 11.

HEADLINES @ 1815Hrs
It was a cloudy start when I left Pitlochry, but south of Dunkeld, broken skies & bright sunshine took over. Auchterarder & Dunblane were fine & sunny, but by Callander, cloud had begun to increase. The Trossachs were rather cloudy, but with a few light showers around. The journey home via Lochearnhead, Killin & Aberfeldy, saw rather cloudy skies, with a few well-scattered light showers. Pitlochry rainfall up to 1815 was 0.3mms, while the maximum temperature was 12.8.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Still a few showers around the area, but likely dying out later on, with some clear spells overnight. Lowest temperature around 4 or 5. Possibly a ground frost & some mist bands around valley bottoms & sides by morning.
THURSDAY
Not a bad day, with broken cloud & sunny intervals. Perhaps the odd shower around the area. Top temperatures close to 12.

A colder start than for some days. There has also been a little rain from showers earlier on. The month's rainfall total to date is gradually approaching near-normal levels. Worth checking the RAIN TODAY link, because the theme is scattered sharpish showers for today. (I'm taking my chances in the Trossachs---umbrella at the ready! )
PITLOCHRY TODAY
At least some breaks in the cloud today, with even a few sunny intervals. It should be dry for a lot of the time, but one or two possibly sharp showers are also expected. Maximum temperatures around 11 or 12, with light to moderate S or SW breezes.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Partly cloudy, with perhaps the odd shower still around at first. Dry for much of the time, with some clear spells likely, which will allow temperatures to fall to around 4 or 5.
THURSDAY
Partly cloudy, with only a little sunshine expected. Quite a risk of getting several showers, though as ever in these situations, a few spots may be lucky & miss most of them.

HEADLINES @ 1900Hrs
Much less rain than originally expected in our area today. There were only 3.1mms, all of this fairly early in the morning. I was amazed to see BBC 1 (SCOTLAND ) still predicting a wet afternoon over our area on their 1330H broadcast, when it had already been dry for over 2 hours. Top temperature today was 12.5.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A dry period, with some breaking of the cloud sheet with time. Rather colder than recent nights, with the lowest value down to around 6 or 7.
WEDNESDAY
It should be a much more cheerful day, weatherwise, with broken cloud, some sunny intervals,mostly dry, but just the chance of an odd shower. Top temperatures should be around 11.

A good example again today of an east/west divide (with Pitlochry in the middle ). Very little in the way of rain here, but persistently cloudy or overcast, with always spits of drizzle in the air & rather more than that early afternoon. Staying mild, however, at 11.8 maximum.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Rather more in the way of rain spreading in this evening & only clearing later in the night. Minimum temperature about 8.

Yesterday, Lossiemouth was the warmest place in the U.K. at 17. Remember the comments yesterday about more rain to be found further west, well Tyndrum received 28mms (2100H to 2100H ). There is likely to be a similar theme today: for the most low cloud & highest rainfall totals--go west. For a chance of brighter skies & the least rain, go east & south east.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Much of the morning should just about stay dry, but it will be mostly rather cloudy. Around lunchtime, another area of rain is due to arrive from the s.w.probably lasting on & off for the rest of the day. Much of the rain should be light, just occasionally moderate, but the cloud base is likely to lower to cover the hills. It will be breezy, but mild, at around 12.

Just a few snow showers survived their passage over the Cairngorms & Grampians to reach Pitlochry as rain showers. At least it was dry for much of the time. The highest temperature only made 8.5, over 3 degrees below the seasonal norm. Tonight promises to be cold, with lighter breezes, coupled with clear spells, allowing escape of heat into the atmosphere
You could be on car-scraping in the morning!

Some sunshine at first this evening, followed by a night with some clear spells. A few prone spots may get down to a negative air temperature, with most places having a ground frost

HEADLINES @ 1645Hrs
Some patches of snow have survived all day on Ben Vrackie, while rainfall radar has confirmed that much of the highest ground has continued to have snow showers. Pitlochry had several showers in the early part of the morning, but since then, these have been much more scattered (rainfall only 1.2mms since 0900Hrs ). It's been windy, up to about force 6, though the sunshine helped push the maximum temperature to 10.0.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
There will still be the odd shower around this evening, but later, skies should be much more broken, with the weather mainly dry. In valley bottom locations, sheltered from the wind, minimum temperatures may just go into negative territory. Ground frost is likely to be more widespread.
WEDNESDAY
Probably more emphasis on broken cloud & some sunshine, with fewer showers around. A little less windy & maximum temperatures close to 8 or 9 degrees.

Decidedly dreich today, even lights on during the daytime. To rub salt in the wounds, many parts of England & Wales had a generous supply of blue skies & sunshine. Parts of Northern Scotland did very well yesterday. The meteorologically famous village of Altnaharra (between Lairg & Tongue) topped the U.K-wide list for maximum temperature (19 degrees--about double its normal.) Altnaharra was once both the warmest & coldest place in the U.K. on a single day--a very rare occurrence. So no sun today, but as yet, very little rain. Max. temp. 13.2.

A cold front will cross the area about midnight. Ahead of this, there will be a spell of rain (mostly lightish, just a few moderate outbreaks). No more double figure minima for a while, about 8 tonight, but some ground frosts lined up for next week.

A much better day than the last few. Cloud should be broken allowing some sunshine on occasions. There may just be an odd passing shower. It will be a little breezier & fresher

A mild night, with a continuing possibility of patchy slight rain or drizzle on occasions. That apart, it should be essentially cloudy & dry.

More breeze & milder than on recent days, up to about 14. Still a fair amount of cloud around, with perhaps just a few patches of more broken cloud & brightness. Equally, a few patches of slight rain are also possible.
