I hope the forecasters are right — that temperatures will be cooler (at least by comparison) in a few days.
Yesterday, it was nearly 90° by 11 a.m. Shortly before 2 p.m., it was 97° (101° heat index). The heat remained long after sunset. The temperature was 90° (heat index 95°) at 10 p.m.
Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 70s. It was 81° when I woke up.
I figured that my electricity usage would go up, and I was right.
This morning's meter reading is between 17288 and 17289. Yesterday's reading was between 17255 and 17256. That means my consumption was 33 kWh in the last 24 hours. That is an increase of more than 53% compared to the previous 24 hours. It is an increase of less than 12%, though, when compared to this day in 2013.
