July 9, 2013



Yesterday's forecast was for a high of around 95° and a heat index near 100°. The temperature reached at least 97°, and, as humid as it was, I'm sure the heat index went beyond triple digits.

The forecast for the next four or five days is grim, to say the least. If it doesn't get up to 100° each day, it will be very close. It isn&apost;t supposed to drop to the mid–90s until Sunday and Monday, and nighttime lows are expected to be around 80° — in the upper 70s if we're lucky.

I'll be leaving for my first summer session class in a couple of hours. That will keep me busy four mornings a week for the next five weeks.

Anyway, this morning's meter reading is 9976. Yesterday's reading was 9948 so consumption in the last 24 hours was 28 kWh. That is precisely the same as my usage in the previous 24 hours. No change.

And it is almost the same as my consumption at this time last year. The weather was cooler on this date in 2012 than it has been lately — or is predicted to be. Nevertheless, my consumption is down ½ kWh — or just under 2% — compared to this date last year.
