Temperature anomaly
Load in Texas summers is air conditioning, and air conditioning is temperature. The anomaly, degrees above or below the seasonal normal for that month and zone, carries more predictive signal than the raw temperature. WattMarkets computes a load-weighted anomaly across the eight weather zones, displays it per zone on the map, and feeds it to the model as a first-class driver.
