The cool front seems to have passed through. By 4 p.m., the temperature was 90° — first time since Saturday.
Actually, I heard on the radio yesterday that Monday's high (74°) set a record for the lowest high ever on July 15 in Dallas. It broke a record that had existed for more than 100 years.
It's been unbelievably pleasant around here the last few days, but the heat began returning yesterday.
Even so, enough cool air had built up in my apartment over the last few days (and nights) that the temperature didn't get warm enough to trigger my air conditioning until late in the afternoon.
That 90° stuff didn't last long, anyway. Another front moved through and brought some rain. And, after the rain stopped, the temperature was in the 70s by 6:30.
This morning's meter reading is 10163. Yesterday's reading was between 10151 and 10152 so consumption was 11½ kWh. That's an increase of nearly 44% — but it is still awfully good for the middle of July.
But even though we were experiencing a cool front at this time last year that kept my consumption down, my usage was still down by about 52% in the last 24 hours.
