S. Wales borrowed the good seaweed. Lovely day as forecast, got 4 + 1.4. In fact best day from the ickle system since mid Nov. I suspect the sun was bouncing off the snow on the roofs of the houses opposite. Tidy!
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

You wouldn't think I was in the same country, never mind the town, if you compare the forecast on Netweather with the BBC or Metcheck for Dunstable - (my nearest town centre).Oscargrouch wrote: »Try http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx2;sess=
