I've really tried not to get too accustomed to the recent cool spell — because I know we have some brutal weather ahead of us before the summer is over.
Still, the weather lately has been very nice. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to it — which, apparently, I have to at least start to do today.
Thursday and Friday's highs were in the mid–80s, and the nighttime lows were in the 60s. Today might get to 90°, with a steady increase in the next several days, and tonight's low is expected to be around 70°. That, too, will be going up.
There is even talk that this area could experience its first 100° day of the year next week. That's really hard to believe, considering how mild it has been around here lately. But that would be more in keeping with this area's traditional seasonal weather pattern so it can hardly be said to be a surprise.
Anyway, electricity consumption went up yesterday — but it stayed in single digits for a second straight day. This morning's meter reading is between 9217 and 9218. Yesterday's reading was 9209 so consumption was roughly 8½ kWh. That's more than 21% higher than my consumption level in the previous 24 hours.
We were experiencing a cool front on this date last year, too, and consumption was 10 kWh. That means my consumption level is 15% lower than it was on this day in 2012.
