I've been expecting this.
In fact, I expected it to be like this a lot more by now, especially when we had that stretch at the end of June when daily highs were 100° or higher.
But then we had what must be regarded as a cool front for Texas in which daytime highs were in the low 90s and nighttime lows dipped into the lower 70s.
No more.
Local forecasters anticipate daily highs of 100° or better through the weekend — and tonight's low is supposed to be 80°.
It was pretty hot yesterday, too, so I wasn't surprised to see my electricity consumption go up, even though I set my thermostat considerably higher than it has been. (And that is for a one–bedroom apartment. I can only imagine what the total was for larger units — or tenants who weren't as willing to sweat as I was.)
Today's reading is 4490. Yesterday's was 4453. My use was 37 kWh — and, no matter what I do, I expect it will be higher in at least the next three days, if not more.
