Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Lot of cloud threatening rain yet not really delivering anything, in between there were some brighter spells allowing 2.4 O's to be generated. 

Spent the day clearing out front guttering and installing pipework and another butt for collecting excess rainwater for applying to raised beds just opposite. Was also supposed to have weeded same and sown seeds as well but got no further than putting a few of last years runner beans into soak prior to hopefully sowing tomorrow.

Might even get around to adding a tap from mains for washing the car, eventually. 

3 O's yesterday so heading in the right direction towards pvgis.

Butt installation completed, with rain last night showing a healthy return this morning.

Solar and wind contributing nicely to national demand today, sadly GF undergoing maintenance so zero generation since 9am this morning.

It just keeps getting worse. Now projecting month end figure of 78%. Afternoon still way ahead with WNW projecting 89%, whilst ESE at 73%.

Yesterday had sun but still too many clouds.

4.05 O's

Up to 68.8% of PVGIS. Should be at 83.7%

Anyone else seen this?
Does it feel safe?

It's nice to get a simple explanation but there's such a lack of detail here..

Been away for a couple of days, yesterday was 2.17 O's and today was 2.34, both just over PVGIS but still behind at only 65% so far this month. Not looking good for catching up in the remaining few days.

1.2 Os today. Quite wet at times. Extremely wet out at home time. 🤣🫤

A few decent sunny spells until 1.30 when the clouds really rolled in, light rain for a bit, now really pouring down 1.81 O's
