TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

The day is expected to be dry ( a very low risk of a light afternoon shower), but I can't promise much in the way of sunshine. Cloud is expected to hold sway, with any sunshine limited to sunny intervals.  (Only South East England is guaranteed wall to wall sunshine, with temperatures around 26 or 27---my children seem to have an out- of- doors life!!).

Max. Temp. 17 or 18       Winds  SW2 or 3       Overnight Minimum    A very mild 13, but with some rain or drizzle.       ( Note that places near the East Coast may well be a degree or so warmer today, with a better chance of an hour or two of sunshine)

OUTLOOK---Changeable & rather cool, with rain on Friday & sunny intervals & showers over the weekend. It will be rather breezy at times from the SW
