SUN 20th JULY 2014

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.

Least said the better about yesterday; it was just the sort of day that those holidaying in Pitlochry wonder what they can do. Cloud was low, visibility much reduced, temperatures only up to a high of 18 & always the threat of rain which might have been very heavy. We seem to have missed the worst that affected the region.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

A good day ahead!!   Warm from the start (following this year's warmest night to date).
Partly cloudy with sunny intervals for much of the day.

Forecast radar shows a nasty shower between Pitlochry & the East Coast  at 7pm, which will need watching. Although this is not predicted to get any nearer to Pitlochry, it remains an outside possibility.
Otherwise, late afternoon & evening may well be the most sunny part of the day.

Max. Temp.  22         Wind   W or NW 2/3        Overnight    Dry & mild, probably above 13 degrees.


OUTLOOK---High pressure dominates, so looking good, with little or no rain on the cards. Temperatures should be in the low 70's each day (22/23 in modern currency). Some cloud around, but at least the sun likely to put in an appearance on most days .  ENJOY !!
