Yesterday was another long day in the newsroom for me. I know it was hot when I went up to school at 12:30, and it was still warm, although the sky was dark, when I left the newsroom at 8 p.m.

It wasn't supposed to be in triple digits, but it might have been. However, my electricity consumption in the last 24 hours suggests that was not the case.

This morning's meter reading is 11685. Yesterday's meter reading was 11666 so consumption in the last 24 hours was 19 kWh. That's nearly 14% lower than the previous 24 hours.

But that persistent cool front this area was enjoying a year ago means that my consumption, as low as it was compared to recent figures, was about 36% higher than this date in 2012.
