Not going to be worth mentioning today.
Thick cloud and snow here in Fife all morning.

You may be in for a surprise then as snow or fog didnt seem to effect mine really........... but think dirty clouds will

Not sure about that.
Our inverter didn't fire up until 8.20am this morning and we've only made 1.8kwh so far !

Not a bad day here, in Cambridgeshire.

Peaked briefly at 95% of capacity around 10.30am (3.4kW output).
Generated 13.4kWh (target 9.5). Sunny spells turning cloudy later.
Total generation since installation: 17% above SAP target.

Ended up with 6.5kwh for the day thanks to some late afternoon sun.
Hardly a cloud in the sky tonight so might be a better day tomorrow.

Well started the month of well with nearly 15kwh total generation, but for the following two days, we've had sub 5kwhr both days, if that wasnt bad enough we now have the threat of snow due !!

If I was in your position then I'd stop using my shower off the combi boiler and start using my electric one. I'd also have a few heaters to balance figures out.
A patio heater would also be good for the upcoming months......

Thanks everyone for the answers, unfortunately as we also have solar thermal panels we don't heat water for showers in the summer and in fact you could make cups of coffee out of the water coming from the tank, it's practically impossible to use the energy sensibly and maybe patio heaters are the best idea.... oh well we'll just have to see what happens.

Has anyone else had this level of difference vs SAP 2009 !?!

Haven't had a SAP estimate but were dead on target according to the PV-SOL estimate we got although we only had our system installed end of February.
