THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY
The chart above shows a very interesting weather situation for parts of Scotland. It places much of the Western Highlands in a mild moist "warm sector" with winds from the SW. This can potentially result in some places, mostly mountainous areas, receiving huge totals of rainfall, possibly approaching 300mms in 48hrs. ( This is equivalent to the entire total of at least 3 average March falls in Pitlochry).
Yet, places as near to all this mind- boggling rainfall as Inverness, Nairn, Elgin or Aberdeen may end up with little or no rain at all & as a bonus could have maximum temperatures up to 16 degrees!! Hard to believe, but that's Scottish weather for you.
I should mention that Pitlochry's geographical position makes it rather "less dramatic" in such situations!
We are likely to get some rain in the next 24hrs but not massive amounts & unfortunately NOT 16 degrees temperature-wise.
