    Brrrr! Hope it's not coming our way, 2.099 O's this twosday.:)
    No snow thankfully, just a heavy frost, so no harm done and 1.92 O's recorded.
    To think that on 16th day of Jan generation amounted to a mere 75.2% of pvgis forecast. Today, the 23rd, saw generation pass the expected pvgis total for the entire month.
    Think I'd better stop posting now, before you all gang up and send the boys round! :o

    After a brilliant seven days just 0.34 O's today. A little confession now, I've just tried out v5 of PVGIS and discovered that it's forecasts are approx 6% higher annually than the version I've been using to date. Mind you it varies from month to month in our case and with the position reversed in November, some show little difference while Feb & March an 8.5% increase.
    So apologies if some of my figures appeared a little optimistic.:)
