The back of summer was broken last month, and August showed it:
Max Temp: Actual 88, Mean 92
Min Temp: Actual 47, Mean 47
Av Temp: Actual 68.7, Mean 70.2
Precip: Actual 1.72, Mean 3.04
CDD: Actual 140, Mean 188.
The average of the last twelve ONI values is -0.266, the lingering effects of the five month long Weak La Nina, indicating a very slightly cool ocean in the tropical Pacific over the last year.
I used 22% fewer kWh this August than last, but stayed comfortably cool nonetheless.
