I expected it.
Late yesterday afternoon, the air temperature was in the upper 80s and the heat index was around 93°. My air conditioning ran more than it has on any day since probably last September, and today is expected to be even hotter.
My electricity consumption has been dropping in recent days, but I fully expected it to go up yesterday.
And it did.
This morning's meter reading is 9098. Yesterday's reading was 9079. Electricity consumption in the last 24 hours was 19 kWh, which is an increase of about 72% over the previous 24 hours.
Ironically, we were apparently experiencing a wave of cool weather at this time last year so my consumption in the last 24 hours was only about 5% lower than this date in 2012.
