Yesterday was much like the days that preceded it — hot and humid. It might even have been a little hotter than the days that came before.
Last night may have been a wee bit cooler than recent nights have been, but the temperature remained in the 70s.
I guess my general perception was that it was hotter. Maybe it was the humidity. Anyway, whatever my reasoning may have been (and I'm not sure what it was) , as I went to check the meter this morning, I felt that my electricity consumption probably got into the 20–kWh range. And I was right.
The reading this morning is 8967. Yesterday's reading was 8946 so consumption was 21 kWh.
There are two ways of looking at that, I guess.
On a day–to–day comparison, my consumption went up nearly 17% over what it was in the previous 24 hours.
But, when compared to last year at this time, it's about 25% lower than my consumption on this date in 2012.
And, at this point, I have reason to hope that today will be easy on my utility bill. Clouds and the possibility of rain are expected to keep today's high temperature around 83° — and tonight's low is expected to be in the mid–60s.
