Yesterday's high was probably in the low 90s. That is what was predicted, and low 90s are predicted again today — but then the temperatures are expected to drop into the 80s, all the way to 80° by the weekend.

Last night's low was expected to be in the low 70s, and it was 71° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27931. Yesterday's reading was 27909. My consumption was 22 kWh.

I didn't go outside much yesterday, but, if I had to guess, I would say the high was probably in the upper 80s, maybe the low 90s. It was decidedly warm but not hot — at least, not as hot as it has been. The revised forecast says we'll be cooling into the 80s in a few days.

Last night's low was expected to be 70° — and nights in the 60s are expected from about midweek on. It was 74° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27909. Yesterday's reading was between 27886 and 27887. Consumption was 22½ kWh.

The temperatures are expected to be in the low 90s, perhaps even as low as 90° or 89°, through this week, and that is probably what we had yesterday. For a time, it was overcast and seemed to be perhaps a bit cooler, but the sun came back out and warmed things up again.

They're saying we will have lows of 70° or 69° this week.

This morning's meter reading is between 27886 and 27887. Yesterday's reading was between 27859 and 27860. My consumption was 27 kWh.

I spent most of Saturday indoors. It was rather pleasant in the morning, but it got warmer as the day went on, and my guess is we wound up in the lower 90s.

It got cool during the night. As predicted, it was 69° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27859 and 27860. Yesterday's reading was between 27831 and 27832. My consumption was 28 kWh.

I think yesterday's high was in the low 90s. That was the forecast, and I have no reason to think that was not how things played out yesterday.

Last night's low, the radio reported last evening, was going to be in the upper 60s. It was close to that when I got up this morning — 70°.

This morning's meter reading is between 27831 and 27832. Yesterday's reading was between 27813 and 27814. Consumption was 18 kWh.

The radio reported a temperature of 90° when I drove home last evening. Perhaps it was a degree or two warmer earlier in the afternoon. If 90° was the high, then that is in keeping with the projections that have been made for the next seven days.

Projected lows for the coming week are in the low 70s. It was 72° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27813 and 27814. Yesterday's reading was 27791. Consumption was 22½ kWh.

Yesterday was another warm day, with a high that was in the low to mid–90s. Humidity didn't seem to be terribly high whenever I was outside, but I wasn't outside enough to make a judgment.

Last night's low was expected to be around 70°. In fact, that is in the forecast for each night in the seven–day. When I woke up this morning, it was 72°.

This morning's meter reading is 27791. Yesterday's reading was 27769. My consumption was 22 kWh.

Today is the first day of fall, but it appears that summer–like temperatures will stay with us awhile longer. It was in the 90s yesterday, and it is expected to remain in the low 90s through the next seven days.

The lows are expected to be around 70° during that time, but it was 75° when I woke up this morning.

This morning's meter reading is 27769. Yesterday's reading was 27741. Consumption was 28 kWh.

September 22, 2015

The temperature was definitely back in the 90s yesterday. Perhaps it was the low 90s, but it was the 90s nonetheless.

I think the low was expected to be in the low to mid–70s. It was 75° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27741. Yesterday's reading was 27714. My consumption was 27 kWh.

September 21, 2015

The forecasters said the high Sunday would be in the 80s, and it was overcast much of the day so it probably felt cooler than it actually was, but I still think we might have gotten into the 90s.

Last night's low was expected to be in the low 70s. It was 71° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27714. Yesterday's reading was between 27688 and 27689. My consumption was 25½ kWh.

September 20, 2015

Supposedly, yesterday's temperatures were cooler than they have been, but I don't think they were that much cooler. Besides, we had spotty rain yesterday, and the humidity almost certainly made it feel hotter than it was.

Last night's low was expected to be around 72°. It was 73° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27688 and 27689. Yesterday's reading was 27657. My consumption was 31½ kWh.

I don't know how high the temperature went yesterday. I know the radio reported a temperature of 94° when I got in my car to drive home. The forecast had been for something like an actual temperature of 96° with a heat index of around 100° so it was probably warmer in the middle of the afternoon. I'll be glad when these days end.

Last night's low was predicted to be 75°. It was 80° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27657. Yesterday's reading was between 27633 and 27634. Consumption was 23½ kWh.

They said the last half of this week would be pretty hot, and they were right. Yesterday's temperature must have been in the mid–90s, and more of the same is predicted for today. Then a cool front is supposed to come through the area tonight, dropping our lows into the upper 80s. When that cool front comes through, nighttime lows are supposed to be back in the 60s.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–70s. It was 78° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27633 and 27634. Yesterday's reading was 27608. My consumption was 25½ kWh.

The temperature was in the low 90s — at least — yesterday. When I got in my car to drive home, the radio reported that the temperature was 92°. Of course, it could have been warmer than that earlier in the afternoon.

Last night's low was predicted to be 75°. It was 77° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27608. Yesterday's reading was between 27580 and 27581. My consumption was 27½ kWh.

I'm pretty sure that the temperature got to 90° yesterday. It might even have gone a degree or so higher. That is supposed to be the trend for the rest of the work week, then temperatures are expected to cool down a bit over the weekend. With any luck, this week will be the last one when 90s will dominate around here until sometime in 2016. That's probably wishful thinking. You can't usually count on consistently cooler temperatures around here until late October.

Last night's low was expected to be around 74°. The temperature was 75° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27580 and 27581. Yesterday's reading was 27558 and 27559. My consumption was 22 kWh.

The forecast called for upper 80s yesterday, but I am inclined to think we probably reached 90°. The forecasts for the next seven days call for highs in the 90s — with a modest cool–down possible this weekend.

Last night's low was supposed to be 69°. It was 70° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27558 and 27559. Yesterday's reading was between 27540 and 27541. My consumption was 18 kWh.

The warming trend has begun. Although forecasters said our high yesterday would be in the 80s, I am more inclined to think we reached 90°, which is what appears to be in store for us this week.

Last night's low was supposed to be in the 60s. Perhaps that was achieved at some point, but it was 70° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27540 and 27541. Yesterday's reading was between 27516 and 27517. My consumption was 24 kWh.

Yesterday's temperature stayed in the 80s, and the same is expected today, followed by gradually warmer days next week. Fall weather isn't here yet, although I hope it will be here soon and will stay awhile.

The low was expected to be in the 60s last night. It was 66° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27516 and 27517. Yesterday's reading was between 27494 and 27495. Consumption was 22 kWh.

Once again, we were in the 90s yesterday, but it appears likely that we will be in the low 80s this weekend. Rain doesn't seem to be in the forecast, but humidity will be low. At least, that is what the forecasters say.

They said last night's low would be in the upper 60s. I slept later than usual this morning, but the temperature was still 68° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27494 and 27495. Yesterday's reading was between 27478 and 27479. My consumption in the last 24 hours was only 16 kWh.

September 11, 2015

If forecasters are correct, today will be in the 90s, then we won't have another high in the 90s for a week. This is how summer gradually leaves this area.

It sounds like the weekend should be nice — with highs in the low 80s and lows in the 60s.

I'll be attending my stepmother's funeral this afternoon. Sure do wish we could expect temperatures in the 80s today!

Forecasters said it would be 75° last night, and that was the temperature when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27478 and 27479. Yesterday's reading was between 27452 and 27453. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 26 kWh.

Yesterday was overcast, at times rainy, and I was inside most of the day, working, but I believe the temperature stayed in the 80s. It was in the low to mid–80s when I left the office. It should be back in the 90s today and tomorrow, but the forecasters insist temperatures will be in the low 80s this weekend.

Last night's low was expected to be 75°, and that is precisely what the temperature was when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27452 and 27453. Tuesday's reading was 27401. That is 51½ kWh over two days, which is average daily consumption of 25¾ kWh.

September 9, 2015

The radio reported a temperature of 98° when I left the office yesterday, but the forecasters says it will be about 10° cooler than that today. A cool front came into the area last night and brought, which is supposed to linger through the morning.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–70s. It was 74° when I woke up.

It's been raining overnight, and it is still raining this morning so I don't think I will try to photograph my meter. Experience tells me that there will be standing water around my meter, and I don't really want to trudge through that. I'll try to photograph it tomorrow and calculate my two–day average. Yesterday's reading was 27401.

It was hot yesterday. I'm not sure precisely how hot it was, but I checked the NOAA website shortly before 1:30, and the temperature was 97° (heat index was 101°). The forecast called for a high of 100°, then 98° today. But the forecasters insist that we won't even be in the 90s tomorrow or Thursday, we'll just barely hit 90° on Friday and Saturday, then 88° on Sunday.

Last night's low was expected to be 80°. It was 81° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27401. Yesterday's reading was between 27339 and 27340. My consumption was 61½ kWh.

I don't know what yesterday's high temperature was, but I checked the NOAA website around 4:15, and the temperature was 98° with a heat index around 104°. Today's forecast calls for a high of 99°, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is talk of temperatures in the 80s by the second half of the week.

Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 70s. It was 80° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 27339 and 27340. Yesterday's reading was 27288. My consumption was 51½ kWh.

September 6, 2015

The temperature made it to the mid–90s yesterday — at least — and upper 90s are expected today and tomorrow. But the weather forecast suggests a cool front will bring rain in the middle of the week, and we could be seeing highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s by the weekend.

Last night's low was supposed to be 78°. It was 80° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 27288. Yesterday's reading was between 27239 and 27240. My consumption was 48½ kWh.

Yesterday's high temperature was probably in the mid–90s. That appears to be the pattern these days — somewhere from 94° to 96° during the day. That is certainly better than the triple digits we were getting not long ago, but I'm looking forward to a return to the 80s — and even 70s!

Last night's low was predicted to be 75°. It was 77° when I woke up.

My guess is that yesterday's forecast of a high in the mid–90s came to pass. When I was starting my drive home yesterday afternoon, the radio reported a temperature of 94°.

The forecast called for a low last night of 75°. It was 78° when I woke up.
