It can be exhausting trying to keep up with the weather forecasts around here.
Even in summer, when it seems that only one forecast — HOT! — is likely, even possible.
Take yesterday, for example. When I got up, the forecast called for triple digits and, at best, a slight chance for rain. But it was unexpectedly mild — although humid — when I went out to go to school. Once I was at school, my students told me the forecast was calling for highs around 90° and a 50% chance of rain, and I dared to hope we might have another useasonably mild July day.
And, in fact, when I left school shortly before noon, it did feel rather pleasant outside — warm but pleasant — for this time of year.
However, by mid–afternoon, the temperature was 96° and the heat index was 99°. It may have gone up after that. I don't know.
But when I checked my meter this morning, the reading was 10345. Yesterday's reading was 10320 so consumption in the last 24 hours was 25 kWh. That' a drop of 3 kWh from the previous 24 hours — or 12%.
Even better, it is a drop of nearly 30% compared to my usage on this date a year ago.
