    Prediction still negative at 95%, but better weather ahead, so hopefully it won't get worse, and even if below average, still enough power to run the ASHP approx 8am-4pm and minimise or possibly eliminate GCH burns.

    Hmm, poor prediction! Better weather didn't arrive, though Sunday to month end looks like being very nice.

    But the mild days have dragged down the month end prediction now to 88% (so it did get worse), but enough watts to run the ASHP, so very little gas consumed, and a nice toasty living room all day.

    2.72 today, but still way behind February. Fingers crossed for a good run in to the end of the month.:)

    Hi

    Good to see it's been a reasonable month so far in some parts of the country .... not here though.

    Last March was our worst by far, but this year will be a contender for the title (or not far behind it) if there's not a quick turnaround ...

    ~35% of the month left & ~33% more generation needed to match or better last year .... betting closed on it being the best March to date though as we'd now need all of the next 8 days to be better than the best day we've ever had ..... so much for the glimpse of optimism that February offered!
