Almost the definition of a storm, rather than a gale (apart from windspeed). The isobars are very close together, so a rapid change in windspeed as pressures try to equalise. Quite common down here, why we don't have many trees or tall buildings.

After the 1987 storm that hit the SE of England, friend of mines brother went out with a chain saw to cut some logs up for firewood. At least there was no shortage of timber to make his coffin after a tree fell on him.

It is what sets the power output for any given temperature.

So you got about 100m2 of almost south facing roof. When you get some time, find a sheet of something, insulation would be best. Get up in the eves and fit it 200mm below the inner roof. Seal all the edges, cut a hole at the top and the bottom for a small bathroom fan, wait till it is sunny, pump some air though and see what happens temperature wise. If you can capture 50W.m-2, that is 5 kW. Going to be up your way, again, again, come the weekend.

Couple of times, after working on my similar system, I have had an airlock. Open tap and sucked on it like Stormy Daniels on Donald Trump. Soon worked again.
