    Attention Wattson Anywhere people! What happened just after 15:00?

    Edit: Could you explain what your concern was? Looking at your graph, I would assume that your H/W diverter kicked in.

    Not a promising start here today. Currently raining and I've had to put the heating on again. A lack of heat from the Sun yesterday, gale force winds this morning and just 8C out has cooled the house again.

    There is a Level 2 wind warning out for later in this area - which takes winds from Gale to Hurricane force for a short time. May?!

    After some time the graphs corrected themselves. I got an odd 3 kW generation spike at 07:10 this morning. I will come beck in the next few days with the information that you requested.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    I will sit a little above 2.5 Os today. It is not a great day or a particularly good start to May generally.
