Got another 4 weeks until Winter yet
BMreports the national grid balancing market monitoring site shows very tight margins on the grid tomorrow and Friday and the same again next week. I can only assume wind is predicted to be very low and solar will obviously be very low. I don't think we're looking anywhere near as tight as last March when the gas supplies were running out but it's a good early test of the system.
Next year will be interesting if we're entering a sequence of cold winters because the recent ECJ judgement against the Capacity Market could see big changes in the supply for next winter.

Tight margins indeed. Just lost power here (South Devon) for a few seconds for no apparent reason!BMreports the national grid balancing market monitoring site shows very tight margins on the grid tomorrow and Friday and the same again next week.

Rags are saying it's turning cooler next week and scaremongering about 30 odd days of snow, any truth in it at all? Even just a little bit?
The end of 2018 is likely to remain fairly changeable with showers or longer spells of rain, possibly wintry over higher ground. Temperatures look likely to be around normal for the time of year. However, as we head into the New Year, there is the chance of high pressure becoming established close to the UK. This would bring drier and colder weather, but also an increasing chance of some snow showers and nighttime frosts.
