Yesterday was another mild day. The temperature may have reached the low 70s by afternoon.

Last night was probably a little warmer than it has been, and I think we can expect more of the same, along with a probability of rain, for the next 24–36 hours. But then it will turn colder, much colder, for the next several nights.

This morning's meter reading is 12245. Yesterday's reading was 12237 so consumption was 8 kWh. That is a modest increase over the day before — a little under 7%.

But it is 36% lower than this day in 2012.

It was mild yesterday — even a bit cold in the early daylight hours — but, otherwise, it was a lot like most days have been lately.

My electricity consumption was like that, too.

This morning's meter reading is 12237. Yesterday's reading was between 12229 and 12230 so consumption was 7½ kWh, a drop of nearly 12% compared to the day before.

And it is half the consumption of this day a year ago.

The mild weather continued yesterday. The temperature probably never reached 70° — if it did, it was probably very briefly.

Then, it got cold last night, colder than it has been. The temperature probably was in the 40s.

I spent most of the day at home watching football and doing various chores around my apartment. I was expecting an increase in my electricity consumption — and there was one.

This morning's meter reading is between 12229 and 12230. Yesterday's reading was 12221. That's a consumption rate of 8½ kWh, and it is an increase of more than 41% compared to the previous 24 hours.

But it is 20% lower than it was on this day last year.

I was inside all afternoon, but the weather was very pleasant yesterday when I arrived at school, and it was expected to stay that way.

Very pleasant weather, and apparently it kept my electricity consumption down.

This morning's meter reading is 12221. Yesterday's reading was 12215 so consumption was 6 kWh. That is nearly 8% lower than the day before, and it is more than 29% lower than this day in 2012.

The temperature was in the upper 70s yesterday, but it dipped into the low 50s last night.

And my recent electricity consumption went down dramatically.

This morning's meter reading is 12215. Yesterday's reading was between 12208 and 12209 so consumption was 6½ kWh. That is a 38% drop from the previous 24–hour period, and it is a 7% drop from this day last year.

Yesterday was relatively mild — but it was also drizzly, a bit muggy and quite windy.

My electricity consumption went up — which is always a mystery to me at this time of the year because it seems to be so inexplicable.

Anyway, today's meter reading is between 12208 and 12209. Yesterday's reading was 12198 so my consumption was 10½ kWh. That's an increase of 31% over the previous 24 hours, and it is 50% higher than this day last year.

Yesterday was a generally mild — and overcast — day. There may have been some light rain in some areas, but I never saw any.

Overnight, though, we apparently got some rain. It wasn't raining when I got up, but I could tell that the street was wet and the ground outside my apartment was damp so I know we got some rain last night.

And rain is definitely in the forecast for today.

This morning's meter reading is 12198. Yesterday's reading was 12190 so consumption remained in single digits (8 kWh), where it has been most of this month.

That's the same consumption level I had yesterday — and it is also the same consumption level I had on this day in 2012.
