When the weather forecast calls for a 20% or 30% chance of rain, I suppose one's tendency would be to think that it isn't going to happen.
But, lo and behold, some rain came through the area around midday yesterday, and the temperature plummeted from the mid–90s to the lower 80s.
Later in the afternoon, it climbed back to about where it had been, but the nighttime lows dropped into the mid&ndsh;70s — and my electricity consumption for the last 24 hours is proof.
Yesterday's meter reading was between 5187 and 5188. This morning's reading is 5206.
Clearly, my consumption stayed below 20 kWh — which is utterly amazing for August in Texas.
Today's forecast calls for triple digits, but the revised forecast now calls for temperatures to stay below 100° through the weekend. There is even talk of a low of 73° tomorrow night.
