The rain seems to be gone today, and the forecast looks dry for most, if not all, of the week ahead. Temperatures should also be on their way up — 90s are predicted late in the week.

We got some rain yesterday morning, and it stayed cloudy most of the day, but the rain held off in the afternoon and evening.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 60s, and it was around 65° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 23965 and 23966. Thursday's reading was 23919. That's 46½ kWh over three days, which is an average of 15½ kWh per day.

Yesterday wasn't as warm as the day before nor was it as wet. For the most part, it was probably fairly typical of a late spring day in north Texas.

What hasn't been typical is the heavy rain we've had lately, and apparently it was back during the night. It's been raining since I got up, too. Until we get the chance to dry out a bit, additional rain will only mean flash flooding. There is nowhere for the rain to go.

Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 60s, but it was 74° when I woke up. It was raining again, so I can only conclude that cloud cover during the night kept the temperature steady.

I'm going to assume that the area around my meter has a few inches of standing water, so I won't photograph the meter today. Sunday sounds like it will be dry. Perhaps I can take the photo then and calculate a daily average. Thursday's reading was 23919.

We had all kinds of weather in the last 24 hours.

Most of the day yesterday was sunny and warm. I heard that it reached 90°, but it was cooling off and clouding over by the time I left the office. There was some light rain as I made my commute to Dallas.

Then, last night, storms came through. Based on the radar I saw before I went to bed, it was a line of storms that stretched from Tulsa well into Texas — several hundred miles.

The low last night was expected to be in the low 70s. It was 70° when I woke up.

As I say, we had more rain during the night, enough that the drainage issues popped up again and there are a few inches of standing water where my meter is so there will be no photo this morning. I'll calculate a daily average when I am able to read the meter again. Yesterday's reading was 23919.

The temperature got well into the 80s yesterday, and rain never really materialized where I live, but I could see lightning flashes in the distance after the sun went down.

Rain apparently remains in the forecast through the weekend — May is typically the wettest month of the year in Texas, anyway, and the forecasters are already telling us this has been the wettest May here ever.

The forecasters said last night's low would be around 70°. It was 75° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 23919. Yesterday's reading was 23903. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 16 kWh.

We got a little rain, but not much yesterday. It was mostly overcast, as it has been for a few weeks now. The temperature probably stayed in the 70s most of the day. It may have gotten into the low 80s by late afternoon. We got some pretty good rain for awhile last night, but it was over by the time I went to bed.

Last night's low was expected to be around 70°. It was 65° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 23903. Yesterday's reading was 23892. My consumption was 11 kWh.

Yesterday was a soggy Memorial Day. It didn't really start out that way, but the much–anticipated rain finally came in the afternoon and persisted into the evening. I don't think it got too warm, really, but it was humid.

Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 60s. It was 65° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 23892. Yesterday's reading was between 23881 and 23882. My consumption was 10½ kWh.

The heavy rain that was predicted for yesterday never really materialized. It rained in the morning and remained overcast for much of the day, but it was mostly dry. My guess is that the temperature got to 80°, maybe a few degrees warmer than that.

Apparently we got some light rain last night, and heavy rain is back in the forecast today. We'll see how it plays out.

Last night's low was expected to be 70°. It was 71° when I woke up this morning.

This morning's meter reading is between 23881 and 23882. Saturday morning's reading was 23851. My average daily consumption for the last two days has been roughly 15¼ kWh.
