July 24, 2014


We wrapped up the workshop yesterday, and it was hot when I left the campus — 94° (heat index 99°).

It will be worse over the next four days, they say, with daytime highs at or above 100°. It will cool off to the mid–90s on Monday.

Overall, though, it looks like July will be much nicer than I expected. Last night, in what has become a familiar pattern, the temperature dropped below 90° after the sun went down — only this time, it dropped sharply to 82° (according to NOAA). And then we had a pretty strong rain. It didn't last long, but it was intense, and, apparently, it brought cooler–then–expected temperatures.

Last night's low was expected to be 79°. It was 74° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 17234. Yesterday's reading was between 17211 and 17212. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 22½ kWh. That is about 8% lower than my consumption in the previous 24 hours, and it is nearly 20% lower than this date last year.
