Fellow Prestonions, I didn't realise how bad it was.

206 rainy days a year
8th worst place for weather
Truly justified to moan about the weather

Makes it even more sweet when it's like it is this morning tho.

If you want to feel more validated, compare with other uk cities / towns https://right-to-complain.co.uk/

Solar / Electricity price API, free forever, no sign up

I’ve been tinkering with some Home Assistant automations for my solar setup, and as part of that I ended up building an API that gives free hourly solar forecast & wholesale electricity pricing for any UK postcode, without any signup / api key / tokens / tracking

Hopefully, in some small way, it can help people make better use of their solar and have a positive environmental impact.

I’m building a Home Assistant automation to make my solar setup run a bit more efficiently & economically. As part of that, I needed solar production forecasts and Octopus Agile pricing data.

I made my API free to use, no key / signup or anything like that.

If it’s useful for your own setup, feel free to use it.
