August 18, 2014



All last week, the forecasters in this area told us we could expect triple digits this weekend. And, early on, it appeared they were right.

But then we got some rain on Saturday afternoon, and the temperature dropped into the upper 70s.

It rained, off and on, in the morning, then the rain stopped, but the sky remained overcast and the temperature remained in the 70s well into the afternoon. It got into to the mid–80s before the sun went down.

All in all, though, extraordinarily nice for mid–August in Texas. They say the heat will be back this week, but the weekend sure was nice.

Last night's low was expected to be 73° or 74°. The temperature was 77° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 17806. Yesterday's reading was between 17789 and 17790. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 16½ kWh. That is about 30% lower than the previous 24 hours, and it is about 21% lower than my consumption on this day in 2013.
