The temperature was milder yesterday than it has been. Not cool, exactly, just not as hot — when you are conditioned for 100° and upper 90s days, a day like yesterday can seem mild by comparison.
By mid–afternoon, the temperature was only 90°, and humidity was low so there was no heat index to speak of. In the next couple of hours, the temperature rose to the mid–90s, a few degrees higher than had been predicted.
My electricity consumption went up a little, too.
This morning's meter reading is 11707. Yesterday's reading was 11685. That means consumption was 22 kWh. That is nearly 16% higher than the previous 24 hours.
And, because area temperatures apparently plunged into the 60s on this day in 2012, my consumption is nearly three times that of a year ago!
