I don't know precisely how hot it was yesterday.
I only know that it must have been the hottest day of the year — so far. Bank clocks and my car radio told me the temperature was in the mid–90s when I went to visit my father in the hospital, and the guy on the radio said the heat index would be around 110° before the day was over.
So it doesn't surprise me that my electricity consumption in the last 24 hours exceeded 30 kWh. Yesterday's reading was 3298. Today it is between 3332 and 3333.
I might catch the tiniest bit of a break in the coming week. Forecasts call for temperatures right around 90°. If that happens, my air conditioning might kick on later in the day.
And I might be able to stay below 30 kWh a few more times.
But I know that the 100°–plus days are coming, and I know my consumption will skyrocket in July and August — and probably September.
