July 4, 2014



Yesterday started off unusually cool — it was 70° when I woke up.

By noon it was 80° (heat index 82°) and cloudy. By 2 p.m., it had only gone up a single degree in both categories; the sun was shining, sort of, but it still wasn't hot.

In the late afternoon hours, the temperature accelerated. By 4 p.m., it was 85° (heat index 88°). It got into the upper 80s late in the afternoon, but I'm not sure if it ever cracked 90°.

Last night's low was expected to be 74°. If it got that low last night, it didn't stay there long. It was 77° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 16782. Yesterday's reading was 16763 so my consumption was 19 kWh. That's a drop of nearly 21% compared to the previous 24 hours.

But the cool front that was in the area this time last year hadn't yet moved on so, as low yesterday's consumption was for this time of year, it was still nearly 6% higher than my consumption on this date in 2013.
