THURS. 24th 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.

YESTERDAY--- Not quite as warm as Tuesday (SE breeze lasted much of the time, bringing that gentle touch of North Sea air with it ). However, Wednesday was still a lovely day locally, though several East Coast places only reached 16 degrees.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Despite a very low cloud cover earlier this morning,  everything points to a day of prolonged sunshine, high temperatures & light winds.  TOURISTS REJOICE---BUT AVOID THE EAST COAST (cloud later to break, haar not too far out to sea & feeling much cooler with a breeze off the sea.)  I am well aware that some people prefer that to sunshine & heat, so just go where you feel happiest;  I simply give you the information !!

OUTLOOK for FRIDAY & WEEKEND

Much as today on FRIDAY.  WEEKEND, somewhat more changeable,as " Westerlies" set in.
Showers & more cloud likely with temperatures much nearer to normal, particularly by Sunday when winds will be fresher.
