Stirling Weather Information 

Past Week
Sunday January, 5 to Saturday January, 11

The first working week of 2020 was wet and windy. A weekly rainfall total of 86.6mm was our highest weekly total since mid-March 2019 with over two inches of rainfall recorded on Friday evening and Saturday. Our maximum wind speed recorded was 47mph on Tuesday 7, our highest of 2020 so far.

Despite a couple of mornings of frost it was in general a mild week with four days reaching double figures and the 12.9ºC recorded on Tuesday 7, is our highest temperature of the winter season.  

Maximum Temperature: 12.9ºC Tuesday January, 7
Lowest Temperature: -2.7ºC Friday January 10
Maximum Daily Rainfall: 37.3mm Saturday January, 11
Weekly Rainfall Total: 86.6mm 
Maximum Wind Gust: 47mph Tuesday January, 7

The Week Ahead
Similar to last week this week also started off wet and windy with wind speeds around 45mph on Monday. It will remain blustery for most of the week. Wednesday could be a drier day but rain is expected to return on Thursday. Most of the wet weather this week is expected to fall as rain but at lower levels it could turn occasionally to sleet. There are signs that from Friday and into the weekend that more settled conditions will move into the area and with that temperatures would drop to freezing and below.

Earliest Sunrise: 08:30 
Latest Sunset: 16:23

Did You know: It’s been a wet past week and the longest period in January we have went without any rainfall was for 6 days during 2017. On January 26, 2016 we recorded our wettest January day with 43.8mm of rainfall with over 9mm falling in just one hour in a month that saw 231mm of rain.

Well That Was Fun: Great Stirling Castle Run 2020

11/1/2020

Cancel It Please!! - that was the cry from over a thousand runners when we woke up to the relentless rain & wind on Saturday morning.
:
But how glad are we all now that they didn’t - what fun was had running through lots of mud & puddles getting battered from the rain & wind and then someone threw in some hills - well lots of hills.
: 
Well done to all the runners, organisers & volunteers for their magnificent efforts in such horrible conditions.
:
Sounds weird & silly but that’s the best fun I’ve had running in many years.

No White Christmas

4/1/2020

So there goes another Christmas and with it another year with no festive snow.

The last time we had snow in Stirling on Christmas Day was in 2010 during the cold spell that lasted from November, through December and into January 2011. Some would say that we had enough of the cold and snow during that spell to last a decade but in keeping with the season it would have been nice if we had some snow over the festive periods since.

In last week's Stirling Observer newspaper (article below) I wrote more about the 2019 Christmas weather.
