Just noting that for the last few days we have had a high over a lot of

Could be the weather front stalled half way down, of course.

Anyway at the moment there are bright blue skies for lots of solar and
plenty of wind.
Coal off most of the time, nuclear running lower than usual
(maintenance?)
and CCGT not doing a lot.

Renewables kicking around 50% of demand.

Nice to see, but I'm sure it won't last.

Probably just coincidence, but it's interesting the first 3 days of
"lockdown" have seen (certainly in the Midlands) 3 days of uninterrupted
sunshine dawn to dusk ....

I managed nearly 6 miles walk today - saw few others out - and the M1 wind
farm (SE of Northampton) had all blades feathered - was solar input enough?
I suppose industrial and commercial businesses shutting down has a large
effect.
