A good week so far:)

Got a nice 4.32 Os yesterday bringing week 2 to a close. Good couple of weeks, and month end prediction now 107%.
Today's forecast is pretty mixed, but the next 9 days are all sunny, or sun's peeking out from behind white clouds ...... but I have been fooled before!

Mart.
Really Mart???
I thought you had more sense than to believe anything that our dear beloved met office grind out
I'll give you a forecast, there could be a chance of a shower or longer spells of rain but with a possibility of some sunny spells or longer periods of sun.
No payment or thanks required...
3 surprising O's yesterday(cloudy most of the day with a few sunny spells and a few showers with a small period of rain) 2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -
Really Mart???
Apparently not. The two solid sun days, are now sun behind white cloud, whilst two later sun behind white cloud days, are now solid sun. Also a sun behind white cloud day in the middle, is now a lonely grey cloud. Don't know why I bother?
BTW I don't trust our Met office site, I much prefer to be mislead by the Norwegian Met Office site YR.
Another nice day here, a smidge over 4 Os, and lots of washing done.
