October 31, 2015

Yesterday was a gray, at times rainy, day. The bulk of the rain seems to have occurred twice — when I was driving to work and when I was driving home at the end of the day.

Forecasts indicated temperatures would be in the low 70s.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 60s. It was 65° when I woke up.

It's overcast and drizzly today and there are about a couple of inches or so of standing water to wade through to get to my meter so I won't photograph it today. The rain is expected to taper off today and be gone tomorrow so I will take my picture tomorrow and calculate an average for the two days. Yesterday's meter reading was between 28259 and 28260.

Yesterday's high was probably in the upper 70s. It may have reached 80°, but I doubt it. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, which made it rather hard to believe that the deluge the forecasters have been predicting will be in the area today and tonight.

But that's the prediction — 80% chance of rain during the day, 90% chance tonight with rain tapering off tomorrow.

I think last night's low was expected to be in the upper 50s. It was 65° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading appears to be between 28259 and 28260. Yesterday's reading was 28253. That would make my consumption 6½ kWh.

The sky was overcast for part of the day yesterday, but it soon gave way to partly sunny conditions; still the temperature never really warmed up. It probably got into the upper 60s, but forecasters said we could expect lower 70s. They're talking about mid–70s for the rest of the week — until Friday, which is supposed to bring cooler temperatures and a renewed possibility of rain.

Yesterday was another cool and overcast day. We didn't get any rain, but my guess is the temperature probably stayed in the 60s. Maybe it got into the 70s for awhile. Maybe.

Not much temperature variation overnight, either. I heard the low was supposed to be in the upper 50s. It was 60° when I woke up.

We had rain off and on during the day yesterday, then pretty consistently from about 6 p.m. on. The temperature was expected to stay in the 70s, and I am pretty sure it did.

It wasn't supposed to get much cooler overnight, either. The expected low was 68°, and that is exactly what the temperature was when I got up this morning.

I waded through standing water to photograph my meter this morning; if the rain continues through the day and the night, I will not take a photo tomorrow. I will wait until the water dries up. Today, though, the reading is 28215. Yesterday's reading was between 28207 and 28208. My consumption was 7½ kWh.

The temperature was in the 80s when I left the office yesterday. Did it get warmer than that? Maybe. I really don't know, but I do know that the forecasters say today's high will be 79°.

But they could be wrong. The forecasters said the temperature would be in the 50s last night. It was 62° when I woke up.

The temperature got into the low 90s yesterday, but the forecasters insist that we'll be seeing 80s, possibly even 70s, in the next seven days.

I guess they were right about that, although I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the last of the 90° days. They will surface from time to time before October is over, but we're moving in the right direction.

Last night's low was supposed to be 69°. It was actually 68° when I woke up.
