Yesterday's temperature lingered in the 70s during the morning, then in the 80s in the afternoon.
Forecasters said this part of Dallas could expect a high of 91°. I don't know if it ever made it. By 3 p.m., the temperature was 89° (heat index 88°).
I'm guessing it did get into the 90s — because it got rather warm in my apartment late in the day, and the air conditioning started coming on regularly around 4 in the afternoon.
And my electricity consumption went up — a lot.
This morning's meter reading is 11003. Yesterday's reading was 10982 so consumption went up 21 kWh. That ended my modest streak of sub–20 kWh days at three — and it's a jump of more than 61% in 24 hours!
On the plus side, it was nearly 5% lower than my consumption on this date in 2012.
