I'm really astonished. The weather forecast has come true – so far.
At 4 p.m. yesterday, the temperature was 88°, and the heat index was 86°. As long as I have lived in north Texas, I never thought I would be able to say July 1 and 88° in the same sentence. That isn't exactly cool — but it is cooler than it has been. And they say it will be the same today.
Well, almost. Revised forecasts now call for today's high to be near 90°. That is a little disappointing — as is my usage for the last 24 hours.
This morning's meter reading is another 'tweener, between 9805 and 9806. Yesterday's reading was also a 'tweener — between 9788 and 9789. Consumption was 17 kWh — which was a decline from the previous day, but it just wasn't as much as I had hoped for — slightly more than 10%.
And it was a decline over this time last year, but apparently the weather was cooler on this day last year than it had been the day before so the decline wasn't as pronounced as it ordinarily would be.
Nevertheless, compared to July 2 of 2012, my consumption dropped more than 36%.
