TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY

Our weather is still being influenced by a deep low pressure system over Scandinavia (Any readers with friends or relatives travelling to or from Scandinavia by sea at present, are likely taking a bit of a pounding!)  
Things should be considerably better in Pitlochry (certainly as compares with Sunday), as skies remain more broken, amounts of sunshine increase & any showers become more isolated. Not, however, a day for picnics, as the fresh NW wind will continue, accentuating the below-average temperatures.

Max. Temp.15 (should be 18.5)      Wind-- NW3 or 4 (perhaps occasional gusts to 6 in exposed spots).    Tonight, with some clear skies, temperatures down to around 6

OUTLOOK (TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY)---Mainly dry, with broken cloud & some sunshine, but remaining cool both by day & night. It may well be pleasant behind glass or even in a garden with walls affording good shelter from the NW winds.  Temperatures no better than 15 as a high & possibly as low as 4 or 5 overnight, especially in  valley bottom locations.
