TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
A cloudy start, with a belt of rain moving northwards across the area at first. It should dry out later this morning
& thereafter it should be mostly dry with only the odd isolated shower around. Feeling on the cold side, though at least winds should be light.
MAX TEMP  8         WIND   variable 1 or 2        OVERNIGHT MIN TEMP  4

QUICK SUMMARY OF THE WEEK AHEADA good deal of dry weather during Tuesday to Thursday, though always the risk of an odd shower. During this period, the nights are expected to be nippy with a couple of slight air frosts on the cards. (I am aware that one tabloid in particular seems to specialize in warning readers of "storm,flood, freeze-up, heat-wave, blizzard etc etc. These are usually over-exaggerations & are milked for all it's worth to sell more newspapers.
REMEMBER---average November days DO feel cold (8 or 9 degrees), nights often have frosts (Av temp 1.6)
snowfall is very common on the Cairngorm Mts & hardly rare on Ben Vrackie!
By Thursday night/ Friday, we will probably be back to milder but wetter weather in any case.

At least the £97million computer may help to kill off some of the rubbish in the press concerning the weather!
