12th JULY

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY, USING PREVIOUS MET OFFICE CLIMATE STATION EXPERIENCE. FORECASTING IS BASED ON MET OFFICE & BBC MATERIAL, WHICH IS THEN TAILORED FOR THE PITLOCHRY AREA, USING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.

3 excellent days; a pity it can't go on, though gardens do need rain.

TODAY'S FORECAST

The morning, though mild, will remain cloudy. It should stay dry; perhaps there is a low risk of a few spits & spots. This afternoon will see conditions deteriorating, with rain becoming more continuous & heavier with time.
Both the evening & night are likely to remain wet.
Gardeners----any outside work should be done this morning.  Later, you can relax & let nature do its work!
Tourists----Take an umbrella, best not to climb any hills or mountains (visibility very poor in low cloud)

Maximum Temperature  17      Wind SE force 2       Overnight Minimum Temperature  14  ( 3 or 4 degrees above normal & with high humidity levels )

UPDATE at  2.15pm   (Only around 16 degrees)

Only light rain is expected before evening. After that, there should be several hours of moderate rain, taking us into the overnight period. I am hoping at least 10 to 15mms are measured at 9am .  That would be very useful for our gardens as well as the town's many attractive displays of plants & flowers.



OUTLOOK---Not too bad, though cooler than we've been for the last 3 days. Rainfall amounts should be small after today.
