At 2 p.m. yesterday, the temperature was 90°, and the heat index was 87°. In some places, that's really hot, even for the day before the Fourth of July. In my experience, it's hot — but not nearly as hot as it could be around here.
By 4 p.m. it was 91° — same heat index. In other words, roughly the same conditions as we had on Monday and Tuesday — and I expected roughly the same electricity consumption.
The weather forecast says we'll be gradually warming into more seasonable temperatures this weekend and next week, but here we are on the Fourth of July, and the forecast indicates we will just barely get into the 90s today.
The temperature was supposed to drop into the 60s last night. Maybe it did, but it didn't last. When I got up around 6:15 this morning, the temperature was 75°.
But back to my electricity consumption ...
This morning's meter reading is 9841. Yesterday's meter reading was 9823. My consumption was 18 kWh, which is ½ kWh higher than yesterday — an increase of less than 3%.
A year ago today, my consumption was 29 kWh. That's a drop of nearly 38%.
