By lunch time yesterday, the temperature was in the 90s. The forecast for the day was a high of 102° and a heat index of 107°.
I don't know if it got quite that hot yesterday. At 4 p.m., NOAA reported a temperature of 100° and a heat index of 106°. That's close enough for me. All I know is that it was hot — and it is supposed to be worse tomorrow.
But forecasters say we're in for a cool front on Sunday. Temperatures will drop into the low 90s — 89° on Monday and Tuesday, they say — which isn't bad for Texas a few days before the Fourth of July. Conventional wisdom around here is that it usually is in triple digits by the Fourth of July — and that has typically been my experience, too — but if this forecast is correct, we might stay several degrees below 100° on that holiday this year. Currently, the forecast for the day before is 93°.
But that is still way off in the future. A week is an eternity as far as Texas weather forecasts are concerned — and my immediate concern is day to day. If the temperature does drop below 90° on Monday and Tuesday, that will be great — but I have to get through today (and the weekend) first.
Today's meter reading is 9711. Yesterday's reading was between 9680 and 9681. Usage was 30½ kWh, same as the day before.
That's another decline compared to the same day last year. On this date in 2012, my consumption was 39½ kWh so consumption went down a little more than 20%.
