    Nice and clear when I set off to work on my motorbike this morning, didn't stay like that though, was like pea soup when I got to work. Did brighten up though and saw the sun for first time in 3 days...2.9 O's was the resulting outcome(on my SSW anyway)


    1 O on my WNW and 2 O's on the ESE
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)
