How does Alloa’s location affect its weather?
Sitting on the north bank of the River Forth, Alloa is sheltered by the Ochil Hills to the north. This gives it slightly milder temperatures than other inland spots, but also traps moisture, making mist and low cloud quite frequent, particularly in autumn and winter.
