THE END OF AN ERA
After over 11years living in the Highlands & enjoying the
most beautiful scenery Britain has to offer, the time has
come when the 500mile gap between my wife & I & our
children & grandchildren needs closing.
As a result Pitlochry Daily Weather will cease to operate.
It is certainly true that the Highlands have "more weather"than anywhere else in Britain & it remains to be seen whether or not I continue to take observations & do a blog following our move south.
I shall miss looking out of my windows & seeing Ben Vrackie in its many moods; the Chilterns will certainly be no substitute. But neither can there be any substitute for
being close to those you love the most as you get older.
Best wishes & happy weather-watching, Barry

FRI 1st MAY
A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY
SUMMARY of WEATHER in APRIL 2015
Last month was mild, with rainfall close to normal.
The average maximum temperature of 13.7 was 2.4 above the long term normal.
The average minimum of 2.1 was 0.6 below the long term normal.
11 days had temperatures above 15 degrees, but there were 9 nights with air frost.
Spells of fine settled weather with clear skies led to day & night big temperature contrasts.
Ben Vrackie usually had at least some tiny traces of snow near its summit area.
15 days had no recordable rainfall & it was generally good for tourists.
Even the wettest day had only 6.8mm rain though April is often our driest month anyway.
All in all, I would imagine it's "thumbs up" to April 2015!!
