During this health emergency all our thoughts are with the families who are affected or have suffered because of COVID-19. Also to our amazing health workers who are working tirelessly to support those families and protect the health of us all. This article is intended to focus on supporting small business owners but we should not lose sight of those helping care, support and fight to keep the country safe and moving forward.

 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.

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.

As well as the main weather website, Facebook and Twitter, in the Stirling Observer published each Wednesday I look back and take a look ahead to what the Stirling Weather has in store for us. Below: Stirling County Cricket Club on December 15, 2019.  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.

Past Week Sunday November, 24 to Saturday November, 30 Another week of contrasts which ended with our lowest temperature of the Autumn -6.6ºC on Saturday November, 30. That day was also a sub zero day with the temperature rising only to -0.6ºC resulting in a cold average temperature for the whole day of -4.4ºC. Compare that to the beginning of the week when on Tuesday November 26, the temperature climbed to nearly double figures: 9.5ºC and the average daily temperature was 8.6ºC. Tuesday, 26 was also our wettest day of November with nearly 15mm of rainfall in what was a dry month 96mm, around half the rainfall of the 184mm that we recorded during November 2018. Maximum Temperature: 9.5ºC Tuesday November, 26 Lowest Temperature: -6.6ºC Saturday November, 30 Maximum Daily Rainfall: 14.99mm Tuesday November, 26 Weekly Rainfall Total: 24.9mm Maximum Wind Gust: 18.0mph Tuesday November, 26 The Week Ahead Forecast: By mid-week we will have lost the cold air that dominated last weekend and with the jet-stream strengthening from the west it will result in low pressure systems from the Atlantic heading our way, meaning a return to wet and at times windy conditions. Rain on Thursday is also expected to see the strongest of the wind with gusts at low level around 40mph. Temperatures are likely to reach double figures by the end of the week around 12ºC before falling close to freezing again as we approach next week. Earliest Sunrise: 08:27 Earliest Sunset: 15:40 Did You know: With wind returning in this week’s forecast our highest recorded wind speed in the month of December was 51.8mph on December 5, 2015 during Storm Desmond, on a day that also resulted in 64mm of rainfall in Stirling.

During the colder half of the week the air flow will come down from the north and it could bring with it some wintry showers during the weekend and beginning of next week. Wind will generally be light. Earliest Sunrise: 08:15 Earliest Sunset: 15:44 Did You know: Our highest recorded wind speed in the month of November was 48.3mph on November 12, 2015.

Only two nights were frost free and on Wednesday November, 13 we recorded our lowest Stirling temperature of the Autumn so far -3.2ºC.

Any brief wet weather mid-week could be wintry but with a few showers forecasted towards the end of the week and weekend it will fall as rain. Wind will increase slightly during the second part of the week. As we move into next week it looks like staying unsettled with rain at times.
