Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

That's perhaps not quite as impressive as it might seem at first glance because I'd expect second half of month to produce less than first but I'm not entirely sure how much I'd expect it to drop off.
If you try out what you suggested to me, average of Sept + Oct for end of Sept (and average of Aug + Sept for start of Sept), I reckon it'll be pretty accurate. I tried it against my numbers and it pretty much matched my guess of adding 1 to the Sept average at the start, and deducting 1 from the end, and having average numbers for the middle two weeks. So you're not just a pretty face!
Also remember you have a bonus day today, (yesterday was 1 day short), so if average of first 14 days, then you'll be at 56% of Sept, which probably(?) puts you slightly ahead of average even allowing for drop off. But as always, this is largely meaningless until the month ends and all the little solar chicks have left their warm solar eggs. (Where is the 'patiently waiting' emoticon?)
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.

Now that we're halfway through September, our generation for month so far is 153kWh compared with pvgis forecast of 292 for whole month.
That's quite surprising to say the least. My two combined systems have produced 155kWh so far this month(not including the bit its done today) with the ESE contributing 84kWh of that total, obviously "sometimes" south isn't always best.
