It was hard to get a handle on things yesterday.
Initially, the revised forecast (as of yesterday morning) was for a high of 84°, but it was 86° by 3 p.m. and may well have gotten warmer. The heat index at 3 o'clock was nearly 90°.
But, although I was home most of the afternoon, I don't recall hearing the air conditioning come on until late in the day — and then for only a few minutes at a time.
Then the rain came and brought cooler temperatures — and today's forecast has been revised from earlier predictions of a high around 88° — first to 83°, then back up to to the current prediction of 87°.
Anyway, I really didn't know what to expect when I read the meter this morning. Yesterday's reading was 9012. This morning's meter is a little hard to read. It is between two figures which appear to be 9023 and 9024, which would make my consumption roughly 11½ kWh. That means my consumption went down modestly — about 8% — in the last 24 hours.
Last year on this date, my consumption was 35 kWh. If my reading is accurate, that means my consumption is down by 67% since this date last year.
