Obviously scotland has had lots of sun dispite the cold weather, this has helped the panel output significantly, unlike the other end of the country where it has just been cloudy and wet.
And if I come across as jealous- I flippin well am!!!
Yes, the weather here has been the worst ever since records began in the 1800's for cool, wet and cloudy. It's normally bright, sunny and dry here.
In fact, it's so cold and wet recently that Scotland is warmer, sunnier and drier. Quite a lot of the plants and trees round here are very sick due to lack of sun.
The lawns and tree leaves round here are more yellow than green due to lack of sunlight (just as grass goes yellow if it is covered for a few days).
I've actully just had two of my apple trees have all their leaves shrivel-up and die, with the tree suddenly dying too. I have another couple of apple tree looking very sick, and have noticed quite a few other trees in the area have died. No specific disease; just not enough sun to keep their photosynthesis going.
Having been in holidaying in the New Forest recently, it was quite a shock to come back from a run of glorious, clear sunny days to find heavy cloud cover and mist hanging over Essex and East Anglia.
However, my wife informs me that the Gulf Stream (or something similar to it) has been knocked a bit off its usual path in recent months, and that's why the weather in some parts of the UK is not normal. It's just a case of waiting for the Gulf Stream to revert back. In reverting back, it'll probably overshoot in the other direction, perhaps turning the weather cold and dull for other parts of the UK.
But as it stands, the SouthEast and East Anglia are really suffering from lack of sun at the moment.
424 kwh already in MAY ................ the owner must be over the moon I think I will ring him.
