The weather is just doing its best to help us with our net zero targets:

Solar power? here's months of blazing sunshine for you.
Wind turbines? hey I'll throw some extremely windy weather your way, oh and lots of rain to counteract the drought conditions from that brilliant summer . .

:)

Re: Weather
 

solar panels useless in this weather, wind turbines turned off [too windy]

and now we have storm booboo

Re: Weather
 

Today was the first time in ages that it rained from before dawn until after sunset. And it's still coming down. As the barometer slowly dropped, the gusts rose in force.

Re: Weather
 

Yep, and nowhere near enough storage for any excess power generated anyway ;)

Re: Weather

Re: Weather
 

Google weather's been fun today. All day its been predicting rain moving away only for it to reappear :LOL:

Re: Weather
 

Few more weeks of rain, and the reservoirs might recover a bit. In time for next year’s drought.

Nice here... Partly Cloudy and 54
