Because you wouldnt guess, would you . You would have no idea at all. The crowds have flocked here to the goodwood festival so, the weather is very much and of speed in west sussex to see peoples mines today.

As weve been hearing, women into the sport. National grid says yesterdays major Nabila Tejpar is the reigning power cut, which affected nearly a Million People, was caused by issues british ladies champion. With two power generators. The Energy Watchdog 0fgem has demanded an urgent report. Now aiming for european and world lets discuss how this might have the rally glory, driving on the edge happened with Energy Analyst david hunter, whos with the world flashing past at 80 in our edinburgh newsroom. Mph. Lots of people assume rally drivers are crazy. Maybe you do, you know, david, good morning to you. With have to have a screw loose in your head. Your understanding of the grids, the power supply, what on earth happened . So, what happened yesterday was that two power stations, which we believed to be nothing beats the adrenaline coming off the stage, feeling youve done your absolute best. One in bedfordshire, a gas fired it would be great to see plant at little barford, and part or more women involved. It doesnt matter about your gender. All of the hornsea wind farm i think motorsport is one of those places where you can be in the same offshore from yorkshire crashed off Playing Field as men. Nabila is keeping the sport in her family. The system within a relatively short her dad and grandad time of each other. That is very were both rally drivers. Im actually really scared to sit unusual to happen. It has happened with her because i think she drives too fast for me, because shes still my baby girl, you know . Before. As a result of that, the in respect of diversity as well, i think that is really awesome. It is few and far between that you would see an asian woman. Every time i talk to my friends, frequency in the grids dropped, and what does your daughter do . National grid had to manage my daughter drives a rally car. Blackouts in order to secure the excuse me . Frequency of the grid overall and 54, left long. Ensure as many people as possible im learning the language remained connected. First of all, of rallying because its a team what could cause one of these generators to power off, or to fall sport and every driver needs a co driver over, so to speak . It is not clear who reads the so called pace notes, because youre going at such speed, and nabila needs instructions. Yet. It could be a localised issue, thats exactly it. Are you really going to listen to me . Substation transformer on site, ithink so which something tripped, to cause it to come off line. So thats not well, the co driver is very clear yet. But obviously when it important and what we do with the pace notes on the recce before does become clear, and what we are the rally is probably one talking about is Something Like 5 of the most important things. We need to make sure we have these of supply, a relatively low amount right so that when we are attacking these stages, which we have really only seen twice. Becoming unavailable, the frequency the final bit of kit on. Drops. The frequency in the uk is a balaclava. Normally around 50 hertz. Its ill make sure i havent had a big dropped to 48 hertz or thereabouts, lunch or breakfast because i do get and that was too low. There are carsick as a passenger. Trying to read notes at the same safety limits for the National Grid time to help nabila take it infrastructure, and for electricity to another level. Supply generally. Sometimes wonder with my stomach left at the start, i could hardly see over the dashboard. Frequency drops you notice a dimming 15 left of the lights. That is what we call go long, left brownout, where frequencies drop, but still within acceptable norms. Its dropped further than that and lots of trees, lots of trees asa its dropped further than that and as a result the National Grid had to respond by taking certain areas of hay bale the grid entirely in order to and at such speed, any pace note maintain supplies elsewhere. Why did instructions to nabila it happen for so long . Surely the were a little sketchy. Preparations would be in place for the voltage to be brought back up to turn, we were already through it, about 50 hertz . Exactly. I mean, in a blur of trees and hay bales. Normally frequency changes all the time, at the very, very domestic the fact that her instincts level, the micro level, you put a and driving prowess got us around regardless is why shes causing such a stir. Hairdryer on and that increases it is refreshing for demand. A Dusty National level, the sport to have the obviously demand every second of every minute. The National Grid is females there as well. Used to managing dust. This was a they are good drivers, very, very rare event that happened theres no reason why they cant beat the guys. Yesterday. We have seen situations, short, right down maybe in the last couple of years, and anyone who finds that reading while on a winding car two power stations have come off journey makes them queasy will surely empathise with how relatively unexpectedly and the i was soon feeling. National grid has been able to these pace notes are scrunched manage data. 0bviously up, i was so tense, National Grid has been able to manage data. Obviously it was not shouting gibberish at you. The case yesterday that they were just a tribute to your amazing driving able to manage data. It was the skills. Worst luck out we have seen a number no wonder youre taking of years. There was some discussion the world by storm. Wow, youre just so calm that there was a particularly high its my happy place. Yeah, no. Percentage of Wind Generation on the grid yesterday. We are not clear yet but that in particular that whether there is any link in relation to dust. What does that mean . How could be wind affected . Stage is very steep. So, if you look back at the history of power supply mainly being from iam not i am not entirely sure how helpful mike was. I think if i had it gas turbans or of power supply mainly being from gas turba ns or turba ns of power supply mainly being from gas turbans or turbans from coal i would just make coal powered fire rightly, he was reading his notes, plans, there is inertia in the grid, and he said trees, lots of trees. Which means the gas or the coal or which was not inaccurate. Not the thermal power plants can untrue. Not necessarily what she was hoping for. It is as useful as when increase their rate of spin to make up increase their rate of spin to make upfora increase their rate of spin to make up for a lack of frequency elsewhere. That is not necessarily matt says rain, lots of rain. Sunshine, lots of sunshine. Clouds. It is wet. Did you like my a lwa ys impression of you . Did you like my elsewhere. That is not necessarily always possible with renewable energy. But there are several tools that the National Grid has in its locker, to make up the frequency response, Fast Response from industry, from Battery Power and so on. From other units, to make these impression of you . Did you like my impression of you . Youve been issues. Now, the whole blackout practising for hours and hours. I issues. Now, the whole blackout issue was resolved in a relatively small number of minutes. But it had think i would be a bit queasy if i was on a ferry with waves like this. A significant knock on impact which lasted four hours, as we saw 0ne was on a ferry with waves like this. One of our weather watchers in yesterday. That is one thing i am kind of confused about, why that devon. Cancellations today. Strong happens. It National Grid have winds abound. England and wales, the sorted out the generators in a matter of minutes, why was the impact so much longer for everybody else, for people travelling, in strongest of the winds today. 70 homes, a Million People in their Miles Per Hour around the isle of homes . Air will we saw in a lot of wight. Elsewhere, 40, 50 Miles Per Hour. Still got some heavy rain for cases that electricity came on some. Weve seen around 50 quickly but there are knock on millimetres falling cumbria issues for transportation and train overnight. This area of low pressure schedules and the loss of signals and so on. That had impacts that has been with us for the last 24 hours. Thats why its england and lasted for a longer time. Its a wales where we will continue to see wake up call for the lasted for a longer time. Its a wa ke up call for the country wins. If not, a little bit more. Lasted for a longer time. Its a wake up call for the country to look at our vital infrastructure, whether it is train signalling whether it is dont forget, we are in the midst of backup generation like hospitals she summer. Could be some damage from those wins and certainly with lots falling farther weather, more may can be it can be resilient and we have an impact through today. If you are on the move, stay tuned to bbc can be it can be resilient and we can be it can be resilient and we can be prepared. If Something Like this happens, and it is rare. We can local radio for your latest travel see what the impacts can be. David, news. Weve got wind and rain. Showers across parts of southern england and wales. Around the 0fgem has said it could take borders of Northern England and southern scotland. There is going to enforcement action. What could it do because we are beholden to national be some further minor flooding. Making up into showery conditions as grid. National grid will be we go through the day. Showers in investigated for its response. It southern areas woolies. Not everyone is going to have a windy day. Will respond as its various tools are. It maintains the powerfor the elsewhere across scotland and into vast majority of us. 0fgem will look northern ireland, lighter winds today. That doesnt mean we will see some heavy and thundery showers developing. Again, they could cause into the National Grids management of this. Did have enough backup a lot of surface water. The power on standby . Were there a particular issues that couldnt be outbreaks of rain later in the day. Foreseen that make this a very still some showers around across one off event. Unchanging the wales, the midlands but a better chance of staying drier with some future. David hunter, thank you for sunshine at times. Not feeling quite talking to us. Thank you for all the as warm and that sunshine, notjust because the wind turning cooler. As we go to tonight, the showers in explanation. Its the middle of northern scotland keep going.

The far north of england, yet across the rest of the uk. Some again. That could cause some further pretty intense conditions over the past few days. A very good morning issues. Some sunshine further south with a few showers here and there. To you. A gentle breeze at cowes just notice further north, the because it is sheltered from the wind direction. Around the coast, at midteens will be the highest. That sets the scene for the weekend. Nice enough when you get the sunshine. Needles on the isle of wight, 78 Miles Per Hour.

Nudging its way for four centuries, northwards but further showers are it was the ottomans who ruled here, starting to pack into the south. Right up until the end of world war i, when control was handed to the french.
