May 25, 2013



Well, Friday was a lot like Thursday — warm (upper 80s) and humid (which made it feel more like it was in the 90s).

There were times in the afternoon and early evening when the air conditioning came on. It may have come on during the night as well — but I'm not inclined to think that is likely.

Anyway, I expected a consumption level similar to yesterday's — until sometime in the evening, when a cool front swept through the area and brought rain. It remained cool the rest of the night.

Well, that helped to suppress my overall electricity consumption. When I checked the meter this morning, the reading was 9012. Yesterday's reading was between 8999 and 9000 so my consumption was 12½ kWh. That's very good for this time of year.

On a day–to–day basis, it's nearly 20% lower than my consumption the day before.

Even better, though, for the second straight day it is half my consumption rate from this date last year.
