May 18, 2013



Well, the temperature rose into the lower 90s yesterday, and the forecasters say we can expect more of the same for the foreseeable future, along with nighttime lows in the 70s.

I had been doing a pretty good job of keeping my daily electricity consumption in single digits, but I'm afraid those days are at an end — at least for the next four or five months. My apartment is on the second floor, and it was necessary to run the air conditioning periodically in the afternoon.

And, as I expected, my electricity consumption was in double digits in the last 24 hours.

This morning's meter reading is between 8910 and 8911. Yesterday's reading was 8895 so my consumption was around 15½ kWh. That's an increase of more than 63%.

However, it is well below my consumption a year ago on this date (26 kWh).
