The string of triple–digit days continued yesterday. The high was over 100° by perhaps a degree or two. More of the same is expected today.

Last night's low was expected to be 81°. I slept a little later than usual today, as I tend to do on Sundays, and the temperature was 84° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 33129. Yesterday's reading was 33085. Consumption was 44 kWh.

The temperature was 100° when I left the office yesterday. They say it will be 101° today — which could well have been yesterday's high since it was already inching its way down by the time I left the office.

We can expect this to continue, forecasters say, until about Tuesday, when the high will be in double digits.

Last night's low was expected to be 82°. Hold on to your hats. It was 86° when I woke up. And, even though today is Saturday, I did not sleep in. I did sleep until about 6:30, which is only about 30 minutes later than I sleep on weekdays.

This morning's meter reading is 33085. Yesterday's reading was between 33046 and 33047. Consumption was 38½ kWh.

The radio reported that slightly cooler temperatures and modest chances for rain are looming on the horizon — in the extended forecast for next week. The immediate future will be much like the immediate past with triple–digit highs and dry, very dry. The temperature was 101° when I was driving home yesterday.

Last night's low would be around 80°, forecasters said. It was 84° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 33046 and 33047. Yesterday's reading was between 33007 and 33008. Consumption was 39 kWh.

Apparently, yesterday was exactly like the day before. Once again, the radio reported a temperature of 100° when I was driving home from work.

The radio predicted a low of 80° for last night, but when I got up, it was 84°, same as it was yesterday morning.

This morning's meter reading is between 33007 and 33008. Yesterday's reading was between 32974 and 32975. Consumption was 33 kWh.

The dog days of summer are here. Temperatures were back in triple digits yesterday, and the forecast calls for triple digits every day for the next week — and probably beyond although forecasts typically only extend for seven days. The radio said the temperature was right at 100° when I was driving home.

The radio also said last night's low would be in the "lower 80s," and that one was apparently correct, too. The temperature was 84° when I woke up this morning.

This morning's meter reading is between 32974 and 32975. Yesterday's reading was 32939. Consumption was 35½ kWh.

The radio reported that the temperature was 101° when I was driving home yesterday — which, I suppose, would make it the hottest day of the year so far. Triple digits are expected for the rest of the week, though, so that title may go to another day in the not–so–distant future.

The radio said it wouldn't cool off much last night. A low of 80° was predicted, but it was 93° when I went to bad last night, and it was 82° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 32939. Yesterday's reading was 32905. Consumption was 34 kWh.

Apparently, yesterday was a preview of this week — very hot with temperatures around 100°. It was probably about that hot yesterday. I don't know for sure.

The overnight low was expected to be around 80°. It was 82° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 32905. Yesterday's reading was 32862. Consumption was 43 kWh.
