August 24, 2013



I spent yesterday afternoon in the newsroom so I don't really know how hot it was — firsthand, anyway.

I never really like looking at forecasts at this time of the year. It is unspeakably depressing to see what is in store. It will be more uplifting in about a month, when we have a realistic chance of occasional rain and forecasts for highs in the 80s.)

However, from what I heard from others, I have a pretty strong suspicion that it was at least 100° for a pretty significant part of the afternoon.

Today's meter reading is 11136. Yesterday's reading was between 11108 and 11109 so consumption was 27½ kWh. That's nearly 6% higher than my usage in the previous 24 hours.

However, because this area was still enjoying a cool spell, my consumption is about 71% higher than it was on this date a year ago.
