By 2 p.m. yesterday, the temperature was 89° (heat index 86°). A couple of hours later, it was 90°, heat index 87°.
I don't know if we went past the 90° threshold or not, but I do know that, if we didn't, we almost certainly will today — and every day through this weekend.
That is surely to be expected. This is July, after all. And low 90s is pretty good for Texas in July.
But 80s are better — and the last couple of days have been pleasant especially the mornings with temperatures in the upper 60s. I will miss that — until it returns, probably in October.
This morning's meter reading is 9823. Yesterday's reading was between 9805 and 9806 so consumption was 17½ kWh — only ½ kWh higher than yesterday. That's an increase of less than 3% over the previous 24–hour period.
Last year on this date, temperatures were apparently cooler than they had been, but my consumption was still higher than it is today. Last year's consumption was 25 kWh so, once again, my consumption is lower — 32% lower, to be exact.
