As usual yesterday, the temperature was in the 90s before noon — but the humidity stayed down so the heat index wasn't really a consideration.
What you felt was what you got. And it was still hot at 10 p.m. Nevertheless, my consumption went down.
The predictions called for a high around 98°. By mid–afternoon, it was 95°. By 4 p.m., it was 97°. Forecasters are speaking of triple digits this weekend.
But there is a glimmer of hope. The forecast for the middle of next week calls for a cool front that will bring the possibility of rain and temperatures in the 80s. They speak of lows around 71°.
Well, we'll see.
Last night's low was expected to be 79°. It was 76° when I woke up.
This morning's meter reading is between 16974 and 16975. Yesterday's reading was 16949. My consumption was 25½ kWh. That is 16% lower than the previous 24 hours, and it is 24% lower than this day in 2013.
