My 'followers' will recall that all week the forecasters have promised me 'grey days' but I managed to get 'above pvgis forecast' every day.
Today was supposed to be 'rainy'. But we've had virtually no rain although we have finally had one of the promised 'grey days'.
3.89 kWh generated today. Not very exciting although comfortably above my 'break even' point (E=2.1) so I can live with it.
Tomorrow forecast to be rainy again (I mean forecast again rather than rainy again !).
I think I've cracked this weather forecasting lark : make any forecast at random; stick to it for a week; sooner or later weather will actually turn out that way; when it does, claim a great triumph.

Quite surprised to get a 3 today...now your wondering....is that O's or kWh's. You all, i'm guessing keep a tab on the weather forecast, so first to answer correctly goes to the top of the class :think:2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0

Don't worry, I'm still here (although I did have an afternoon away from my KB).
Not seriously expecting to hear from Met Office - I'm pretty sure they already have an office full of people who are applying 'my' principles already.
Most of todays forecasts were agreeing that there would be very little sun today. I offer them my congrats on their unusual accuracy. Alas, they all promised me some rain as well - but all I got was some slight drizzle - so no congrats on that front.
They all seem to have recycled today's forecast for tomorrow (you'll realise why now of course) and if it still doesn't rain much then I imagine they'll promise it again for Sunday.
FWIW, 4.85kWh generated today. Below average for month but my 'E' value was well over 2 so I'll live with the disappointment.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50
