July 22, 2012



For one of the few times since I have been monitoring my electric meter, I used more than 40 kWh yesterday.

That really isn't surprising. The temperature reached at least 105° yesterday (heat index 108°), and, even though my thermostat was set in the low 80s, it seemed like my air conditioning was running every minute.

It might be nearly that bad today. The forecast calls for 100°.

But, for the remainder of the week, forecasters are talking about temperatures in the upper 90s. Nothing like the low 90s we were getting early last week, but an improvement over triple digits — and one that is likely to keep my consumption in the 30–35 kWh range.

Anyway, today's reading is 4565. Yesterday's reading was 4522. Thus, my usage was 43 kwh.

That isn't the highest number I've reached in the last 16 weeks — but it's close.
