A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Unfortunately, due to a technical fault, we are unable to use the normal format this morning.
Some adjustments were made yesterday & this has resulted in a failure of the system.
Owing to it's being Christmas Day, the Technical Department is still in bed!
The observational & forecasting Team are, however, working normally, though with a short delay due to getting food out of the freezer.
Temp. at 0900 0.0 Yesterday's maximum 5.2 Overnight minimum -0.2
24hr rainfall (up to 0900hrs) 3.3mms
Currently, the weather is dry, though nippy-----absolutely perfect for a nice, long walk!
Much of the day will be dry, though showers will be developing over Western areas & the odd one may reach Pitlochry. There is still some valley mist around, adding to the delights of taking that Christmas morning walk.
Today's maximum temperature should reach about 4 degrees, with a slight frost tonight.
Winds will be light & variable in direction.
Have a lovely day!! Barry
A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
Some repercussions for Pitlochry of the flooding in N.E.England. The lateness of last evening's rail service from King's X, could be measured in hours rather than in minutes!! Today's 0923 service to King's Cross will be subject to delays in places between Berwick & York. Don't expect to be in London by 1554!!

The last few days have seen heavy rainfall in many parts of Britain, with resultant flooding. Today has been the turn of SE Scotland, NE England & N Wales. Pitlochry has escaped much of the heavy & prolonged rainfall, resulting in a current monthly total of only 66% of the November long-term average.Moreover, it seems unlikely there will be any significant rainfall for the rest of the month.
So, not for the first time this year, it looks as though we are lined up to be one of the drier parts of Britain during the past month.

Low cloud flirts with a snow-capped summit, while lower ridges stand out clearly.
Despite huge rainfall totals in such areas as SW England, as the rain belt moved into Scotland, it weakened & fragmented, giving us a mere 2.4mms. November is still down on normal values; the current figure of 62mms needs to exceed 90mms by the month's end to meet average.

With a mere 34mms of rain falling during the current wet spell(5 days) & the running total of rainfall during November to date at only 63% of the long term average for the whole month, Pitlochry can count itself rather fortunate compared with many other places.(both locally & further afield)
The Tummel today was on the high side, but it's said that only when the rock (as viewed from the foot bridge) is totally covered, is it time to start worrying!!??
The outllook threatens further rain, so keep watching!
A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
There should be a fair amount of dry weather around, with some sunny intervals, though plenty of showers are likely further W. & a few may carry across. Despite light winds, it will feel on the cold side, with best temperatures limited to around 5 or 6. TONIGHT should stay dry, with some clear spells & many places will have a touch of frost by dawn. Perth had moderate rain throughout yesterday afternoon & Tyndrum had 33mms in the 24hrs ending 2100hrs last evening---so Pitlochry missed the worst!!

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
A very disturbed day of weather! It is likely to remain wet for part of the morning, but latest radar charts indicate some drier spells at times during the rest of the day, but with the threat of some further spells of rain on occasions too. High rainfall totals are expected, especially further west of Pitlochry with river levels rising accordingly. It is also expected to be windy, more so this morning, with winds from a SE direction, gusting to force 6 for a time. Though mild this morning, temperatures will start to fall during the afternoon. TONIGHT should see lighter winds & some dry weather, though showery outbreaks of rain are still likely & could be heavy on occasions. Temperatures are likely to fall to low single figures & a touch of ground frost is possible in prone locations.
