Yesterday was a reminder that the weather in Dallas in July can be, well, freaky.
It was in the 90s before noon, and, with high humidity, the heat index was near 100° in the early afternoon. But then, around 3 p.m., some kind of front moved into the area, bringing thunder and some drizzly rain. By 4 p.m., the temperature was 84°. It dropped to around 80° before sundown.
Go figure.
I had no idea what to expect when I checked my meter this morning. But I was pleasantly surprised.
This morning's meter reading is 10221. Yesterday's reading was 10201 so consumption was 20 kWh. That's a drop of ½ kWh — or just under 3%.
It's a considerable drop from my usage on this date last year — when, apparently, a more seasonal stretch of weather was beginning around here. Consumption on this date last year was 37 kWh so my usage is down by nearly 47%.
