Weather Prediction Made Easy

Surely there's an obvious pattern here?



I'm forecasting rain for Friday and a clear day Sunday. And I refuse to admit that today's xkcd might be at all relevant.

PS: Averaging 21.7 kWhpd = $9.01 = $3.88 clear profit per day = actually $2.12 per day until the electricity company gets its act together and properly connects us up (apparently in ANOTHER 2-3 weeks time) and the credit card bill comes due (tomorrow). Theory aside, we're about to go negative for a little while. :P

I'm guessing that you have also noted the upward long term trend. In which case http://xkcd.com/605/ comes to mind.

Ah, xkcd - so universally relevant! And indeed I had - I also tried autofitting a number of trend lines in Excel. I particularly like polynomial - depending on the order of the polynomial, by the end of the month we're set to be generating between 70 and 11,000 kWh per day. Talk about runaway global warming! :)
