6.12 Os on a strange day. Some local cloud started building up, just west of the Cambrians, before lunch and the light levels were up and down like a lady of negotiable virtue's underpinnings. It also killed the temperature, which had rapidly climbed to 32 degrees then suddenly dropped back to around 27 and stayed there for the rest of the day. The cloud drifted off to the east after lunch and became part of the chain of storms over the north Midlands/South Yorkshire.

Netexporter is to blame then! They sent the huge thunder clouds here to South Yorks.
Lots of rumblings and grumblings but none of the much needed rain, although there was a downpour a couple of miles away. 5.37 O's

Just missed out on a maiden with 5.97 O's yesterday.
Morning was hot and sunny, but sporadic clouds after lunch which caused the temperature to fall a little giving higher generation spikes between the clouds. Reduced the overall generation slightly, but not as much as I feared.
