    29.2 Kw/h or 7.3 O's in the end

    A record and just off that elusive 30Kw/h.

    It's now going to be a tussle between longer hours of sunlight and sun being higher in the sky against temperature.

    Still think June will break it if we get a period of days like the last few.

    Just looking back at my records...

    The last time I didn't have a Hawaii was on the 10th May where I still got 4.5 O's.

    It really has been sensational of late.

    Only one way to go though.
