ROUND & ABOUT at 4PM----TEMPERATURES
PITLOCHRY 27, CAIRNGORM SUMMIT 17, PETERHEAD 17, St ANDREWS 20,
ULLAPOOL 21, STORNOWAY 20, EAST KILBRIDE 29, DUNBARTON 26
FALKIRK 27.
Many places, including Pitlochry & the Glasgow area, had their warmest day of the year yesterday. Highest temperatures were widely in the range 26 to 29 as a maximum.
As often happens in a south-easterly heatwave, the exception to the rule were places close to the East Coast, just a few examples by late afternoon included Berwick 19, St Andrews 17, Wick 17.
Of course, there are always people who prefer this level of heat & I am no lover myself of warm humid nights when sleeping can prove difficult.
Occasionally, the highest temperature of the day,in the entire U.K. can be in Scotland, especially when moist, warm winds descend after crossing the Cairngorms. The Aberdeen/Inverness areas sometimes falls into this category.
One place in the remote Northern Highlands-ALTNAHARRA-(Lairg to Tongue road)--can boast that on one occasion, it was both the coldest & warmest place in Britain on the SAME DAY.
TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Unlike yesterday, we're off to a glorious start from the word "go". Wall to wall sunshine is expected with very little cloud & once again temperatures should reach high values.
Max Temp. 25/26 Wind SE 2 Overnight low temp. 14
At present, the Firth of Forth as well as parts of the North Sea are covered in haar, so once again tourists should appreciate that coastal resorts in the east are certain to feel "bracing". Yesterday many East Coast towns were stuck on around 17 degrees, while the Highlands & the west generally, were 10 degrees warmer!
WEEKEND---Still some spells of dry, bright weather, though there is likely to be more cloud around & perhaps a few showers as well, though I doubt enough to put a smile on gardeners' faces. Temperatures are likely to be a little down on recent days,with something of a fresher feel,as winds turn more to the west.
