All the recent sunshine is showing up in UK power generation.
For example, at midday (yesterday) more of the UKs power was being generated by solar than wind (26% v 25%).
This has actually occured a few times in the last two weeks, one day in late February, solar generation was twice as high as wind generation.

Of course, this is only for short periods on these days (maybe 1 - 2 hours max) while the sun is at its strongest.
