Yesterday was another mild day. Shortly before 1 p.m., the temperature was only 81°, and the humidity was so low that the heat index was actually 79°.
It got a little warmer later in the day — but not much. Around 4 p.m., the temperature was 85°, but the heat index was 82°.
The forecasters expected another pleasant night — with lows possibly in the upper 50s — and I can only guess they were right. It got rather cool last night.
I had hoped to keep my consumption in single digits, but, even without the air conditioning running, I figured my consumption would go up. I was home all day, and I used various electric appliances that normally don't run when I am home. And I was right. Consumption did go up.
This morning's meter reading is 11832. Yesterday's reading was 11822 so consumption was 10 kWh, which was about 53% higher than my consumption in the last 24 hours.
However, on this day in 2012, the cool front was past and warmer temperatures had returned so my consumption today compared to this date last year is down about 44%.
