We mentioned in a post on August 1 about the need for cooling our homes and businesses (the stats based on departure from normal temperatures).

As of today, we are using 55% above normal cooling need use. This time last year, we were using 27% below normal use. This year’s cooling needs have already doubled this point last year…and we have a hot and humid week ahead.
