We had more humidity yesterday than we had the day before — probably because of the approaching storm, which, when all is said and done, is supposed to leave between 2 and 4 inches of rain in this area.
The temperature was 86° by 1 p.m. The heat index was a degree higher. By 3 p.m. it was 90°, but the skies were getting cloudy. The temperature stayed around 89° or 90° for the rest of the afternoon. It was 86° by 7 p.m. — and the temperature continued to drop.
Last night's low was expected to be 74°. It was 77° when I woke up.
Frankly, I expected my electricity consumption to go up. But I was surprised.
This morning's meter reading is between 17121 and 17122. Yesterday's reading was between 17103 and 17104. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 18 kWh. That's a drop of more than 7% compared to the previous 24 hours. The cool front was still with us on this day last year — in fact, July 17 seems to have been unseasonably mild every year that I have done this — so my consumption is still more than 56% higher than it was on this date in 2013.
