July 8, 2013



The temperature was already in the 90s by lunchtime yesterday. The forecast called for a high of 97°, and that is probably the best it will be all week — well, with the exception of today, which is supposed to be 96°.

Anyway, I didn't bother to monitor the temperature through the afternoon to see if the forecast high was reached or exceeded. I know it was hot. You don't need a degree in meteorology to know it is going to be hot in Dallas in July.

Well, usually.

This morning's meter reading is 9948. Yesterday's meter reading was 9919. Consumption, therefore, was 29 kWh. Yesterday's usage level was 28 kWh so it went up less than 4% in the last 24 hours.

A cool front came through the area this time last year, and my electricity consumption was 26 kWh, which means my consumption compared to this date last year is up nearly 12%.
