July 14, 2013



The forecasters have been sticking to their guns on their forecast of 80s today and tomorrow, then low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope they're right.

It's hard to believe, though, when you consider that yesterday afternoon, around 5 p.m., the temperature was 101°, and the heat index was 104°. It's hard for me to believe that today's high will be about 15 degrees lower than the reading at 5 p.m. yesterday.

But that's their story. We'll see if they're right.

This morning's meter reading is 10133. Yesterday's reading was 10100. Consumption in the last 24 hours has been 33 kWh, which is almost a 6% drop since the previous 24–hour period.

Apparently, the temperatures on this date last year were in the low 90s. Consumption was 27 kWh, which is about 22% lower than the current usage, even though yesterday was about 10 degrees warmer than the same date in 2012.

The weather lately has made my daily consumption higher than the same days a year ago. Hopefully, we can catch up in the next couple of days.
