As I expected, the temperatures yesterday were quite warm — around 90°.
When it gets that warm outside, my second–floor apartment really gets warm so my A/C ran frequently yesterday. Frankly, I was a bit worried about my consumption.
However, my meter this morning reads 2312, which means I consumed 26 Kwh.
What do you know about that?
My A/C ran far more yesterday than my heat did at any time in February — but the utility company claims my daily Kwh consumption in February was 30.
As of tomorrow, I will have been monitoring my meter for four full weeks. I have never used as much as 30 Kwh in any 24–hour period during that time — and you can see the photos I have taken right here on this blog — yet, according to the utility company, I must have used more than 30 Kwh routinely in February because 30 Kwh is only the average. (By definition, there would have had to be days — several of them, in fact — when my use was higher.)
But everyone knows this February was much milder than normal. There were reports from states far to the north of flowers that were blooming weeks, even months, before they normally would. There were also stories of people who were sunbathing at a time of the year when they would normally have been bundled up.
Weather information is easy to confirm.
