August 27, 2013



As we have already seen a few times this summer, nature still has unexpected surprises for us, even when we believe we know what is going to happen.

Forecasts for this week uniformly called for highs around 100° and nighttime lows around 80°. But some sort of a cool front moved through the area in the last 24 hours ("cool" being a relative term). It may have reached 100° briefly yesterday, but it mostly remained in the 90s, and it dropped into the 70s overnight (it was 75° when I got up this morning), and today's forecast now calls for a high of only 93°.

Triple digits are still in the forecast for the rest of the week, but who knows?

Anyway, this morning's meter reading is 11218. Yesterday's reading was 11195 so consumption was 23 kWh in the last 24 hours. That's a drop of nearly 12%.

It is still higher than this date last year — but only by 1 kWh.
