Forecasters insisted that we would just barely make it to 100° yesterday.
But it was already 99° by 2 p.m., and I assume we cracked triple digits again. The humidity isn't as high as it was — I assume that means these triple–digit days we've been having have sucked most of the moisture out of the ground.
There's still some moisture in the ground, though — the grass is green (as opposed to the scorched–earth color it usually takes on by this point in the year) — but the heat indices have been dropping.
They call this a "dry" heat, I guess, but isn't that what they say about the heat in ovens?
This morning's meter reading is between 10661 and 10662. Yesterday's meter reading was 10627 so my electricity consumption in the last 24 hours has been 34½ kWh. That's an increase of about 4½% over the previous 24 hours, and it is a little more than 1% below my consumption on this date last year.
