WED. 23 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.

APOLOGIES
For not actually publishing  yesterday's data. Observations were still made at 9am ( & will be included in calculating July's averages.

YESTERDAY EVENING

We had an excellent reminder of the towns, mountains & lochs of the Scottish Highlands at Pitlochry Theatre & I'm proud to say, we'd been to most of them. To me, no finer scenery, on a clear day, beats  the panorama which includes Suilven, Canisp & Quinag.
Don't forget to record the excellent programme on clouds, while watching the Glasgow Commonwealth Games on TV this evening. 


YESTERDAY & BEYOND
Many places in Scotland had their warmest day of the year so far (eg KINLOCHEWE).  PITLOCHRY had its warmest JULY day so far ( see below ), but was actually beaten on JUNE 18th ( 26.6 ). 
Most readers will agree that the current spell is beautiful & expect more of the same for Today ( later) as well as on THURSDAY & FRIDAY.

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Yet again, a mild start. Unfortunately, we're in an area of low cloud that has spread in from the North Sea, often a temporary visitor to the town during settled spells with SE winds. I would be surprised if the cloud did not show signs of lifting & breaking by 10am & once it starts, blue skies & sunshine quickly follow. (For ever the optimist )

Max.Temp. 24         Wind   SE2       Overnight Min. Temp. 13

TOURISTS----Anywhere except East Coast Resorts (prone to lower temperatures & some haar ), should have lovely weather.
GARDENERS ---- Pitlochry is still short of rain, until at least Saturday.
