When you have lived in Texas for awhile, you learn to take forecasts of lower temperatures in the summer with at least a grain of salt — especially when you have been through a stretch of triple–digit days, as we have lately. But apparently the forecasts are coming true. The temperature was in the 90s yesterday, which is still hot but clearly not as oppressive as it has been.
If yesterday had been a weekday, I would have been at work all day, and my consumption would have been lower. Unlike weekdays, though, I was at home most of the day, and my electricity consumption reflects that.
Currently, the forecast calls for highs in the mid–90s for the next few days — then we may actually see it drop below 90° by midweek (accompanied by a 50% chance of rain). We shall see.
Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–70s. It was 76° when I woke up.
This morning's meter reading is between 26616 and 26617. Yesterday's reading was between 26571 and 26572. My consumption was 45 kWh.
