It wasn't quite as hot yesterday as it has been.
Don't get the wrong idea. This is Texas. It is summer. The understanding is that it will be hot here. And it is.
But yesterday was different than it has been. By mid–afternoon, the air temperature was only about 90°. For Texas in mid–June, that isn't bad. But it was very humid so the heat index was around 95°. I ran some errands in the morning, but I spent most of the afternoon inside. The air conditioning didn't have to struggle to keep the apartment cool although I was sure I would see electricity usage above 20 kWh this morning. That much is a given.
In fact, my electricity consumption did drop in the last 24 hours. Yesterday's meter reading was between 9381 and 9382. Today's reading is 9405 so consumption was 23½ kWh. Consumption in the previous 24 hours was 28½ kWh — a decline of more than 17%.
When compared to my usage on this date last year, the decline was not quite as dramatic but it was still a decline — about 6%.
