TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
TUESDAY
A windy day, with the culprit an ex-tropical storm scooting through in the westerlies after battering parts of the Caribbean not many days ago. This is by no means unusual at this time of year, though in 1987, other factors combined, not readily identifiable at that time, to create an explosive storm & guarantee Mike Fish a place in the history books.Seemingly now, the acquisition of one of the most powerful computers on the planet, should ensure that the Met Office will be able to give advanced warning when such rare combinations of factors occur again.
Much of the day should be dry, with broken cloud & some sunny intervals. Cloud is likely to increase later this afternoon & occasional light rain can be expected through the evening, becoming heavier for a time overnight.
MAX TEMP 12 WIND between W & S force 2 or 3 OVERNIGHT MINIMUM 8
