July 5, 2012



The temperature was in the upper 90s yesterday; as a result, I really expected a meter reading that was higher than the one I got.

So that was a pleasant surprise.

The unpleasant part — the part I had been expecting — was the fact that my use exceeded 30 kWh in the 24–hour period — snapping my three–day streak of sub–30 kWh days.

My reading this morning was 4050. Yesterday's reading was 4015. Hence, my usage was 35 kWh.

The forecast calls for upper 90s today, Friday and Saturday, then the forecast calls for lower 90s Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. My experience in the last three months tells me that, if the forecast holds up, I have a pretty good chance of keeping my daily consumption below 30 kWh on those four days.

But I have also learned that, in Texas, extended forecasts are almost always wrong.
