Pumps use about 50w. Maybe 6h of use a day. 300wh a day, 9kwh in a month compared to not using central heating at all.
Running the oven for an hour a day 2kwh, 60kwh per month.
200wh per extra kettle boil, 6kwh extra per month.
As you used about 40kwh less in November, probably some combination of the above.

I've been looking over my energy usage since I joined Octopus in May, and clearly the gas usage tracks the weather very closely as you would expect.
What I can't work out is why the electricity also appears to. Obviously you use more lighting when it's dark. But there is a clear November dip in electricity, coinciding with the warm spell, what's going on there? Do some electrical appliances (tumble dryer?) use much more electricity when it's cold - even though given we had the heating on, it didn't get particularly cold inside?
Each bar on these graphs is a month, starting in May. January short because it's not a complete month.
What am I missing?
