Yesterday was a few degrees warmer than the day before. I don't know how much warmer, but I do know the temperature rose into the 90s.

Last night's low was predicted to be in the low 70s, but we're looking at mid–70s for the rest of the week. It was 78° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 24761. Yesterday's reading was between 24728 and 24729. My consumption was 32½ kWh.

They said the temperature would be milder yesterday than it has been — and I suppose it was, although not by much, maybe a few degrees, and the humidity more than made up for it. I didn't see the temperature anywhere, but my guess was that it was upper 80s, maybe 90° or so, with a heat index that probably boosted the stress a few degrees.

Last night's low was expected to be 71°. It was 72° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 24728 and 24729. Yesterday's reading was 24704. My consumption was 24½ kWh.

Yesterday was another day in the 90s, but today may be different. A storm came through the area last night, supposedly driven by a cool front, and temperatures today are expected to be in the 80s. Still warm — just not quite as warm.

Last night's low was still expected to be in the mid–70s; the temperature was actually 75° when I went to bed. It was 77° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 24704. Thursday's reading was between 24649 and 24650 so my consumption over the last two days has been 54½ kWh. That averages out to 27¼ kWh per day.

As predicted, temperatures have been in the 90s all week. When I left the office yesterday, the radio reported a temperature of 93°, and I'm sure it must have been in the mid–90s at the warmest point of the day. More of the same is expected today, but a cool front is expected to keep temperatures in the 80s during the weekend.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid– to upper 70s. It was 80° when I woke up.

I'm having trouble with my aging camera this morning; I'll try again tomorrow. Yesterday's reading was between 24649 and 24650.

Yesterday was a typical Dallas day in June. The sky was mostly clear — a handful of clouds dotted it, but, otherwise, it was a clear sky. And the temperature was in the mid–90s, although the heat index made it feel like it was 100°. I guess the conditions even fooled one of the bank clocks, which actually did read 100° on my drive home.

And it cools off slowly around here, taking its time even after the sun goes down. It was still around 90° when the sun went down last night, which meant a heat index around 94°. We haven't had much rain lately, but the rain we got last month more than made up for it, and all that moisture is contributing to the heat index — and the mosquito problem. Later in the year, we'll be glad to have the water. Right now, not really.

The low was supposed to be 77°. It was 79° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 24649 and 24650. Yesterday's reading was 24619. My consumption was 30½ kWh.

We seem to be settling into a pattern. Yesterday's high was, once again, well into the 90s — and it was just a whisper below 90° an hour after the sun went down. The rest of the work week promises to be in the 96° range, but forecasters insist we'll be in the upper 80s this weekend.

Last night's low was expected to be a muggy 76°. The temperature was 81° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 24619. Yesterday's reading was between 24580 and 24581. My consumption was 38½ kWh.
