All week, the forecasts have been telling us to expect triple–digit temperatures today through the weekend. It's the kind of forecast that has a way of coming true, and this one certainly seems to be well on its way.
At 2 p.m. yesterday, the temperature was 95°, and the heat index was 101°. It crept upward through the rest of the afternoon. By 4 p.m., the temperature was 97° with a heat index of 104°. I don't know if it reached the forecast high of 99°.
The next three days are supposed to be in triple digits.
Looking back at last year's post on this date, this area was in the grip of a triple–digit heat wave, too, but I'm doing a better job of managing my consumption this year.
This morning's meter reading is between 9680 and 9681. Yesterday's reading was 9650 so consumption was 30½ kWh.
That is an increase of more than 27% over the previous 24 hours.
However ...
On this date last year, my consumption was 47 kWh. Therefore, when compared to this time a year ago, my consumption dropped more than 35%.
