I might even have to use my a/c in the one room I have it since there's so much solar gain. But it was chilly last week !
" Hottest day of the year predicted
People have been flocking to parks and beaches to make the most of the sun
Some parts of the UK are set for their hottest day of the year so far, the BBC weather centre has said.
Temperatures are predicted to reach 27C or 28C (80.6F or 82.4F), according to BBC forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker.
The hottest weather is expected in the West Country, Berkshire and Port Solent in Hampshire.
On Sunday, the warmest day of the year so far, temperatures hit 26.9C at Port Solent. London reached 24.9C, Glasgow 24.2C, Castlederg 24.6C and Rhyl 23.6C.
The warm temperatures are expected to continue across the UK for the beginning of the week, Mr Schafernaker added.
However, temperatures will be cooler along eastern coasts because of a breeze.
Cooler weather
"It is going to stay warm and sunny on Monday, with temperatures expected to reach 27C or perhaps a degree higher, so marginally warmer than Sunday," he said.
"But changes are already taking place, with cooler air moving into the north of Scotland.
"This will be the beginning of a cooler spell affecting the whole of the UK for the second half of the week."
Parts of the Scottish Highlands are expected to reach 19C on Monday and cooler temperatures and cloudier skies are forecast to reach the south by Wednesday.
This will mean a temperature drop of seven to 10 degrees Celsius, with London expected to fall to 19C by Thursday and Friday.
But there will still be "some sunshine" in the later part of the week, along with "cooler nights".
Next weekend will be "fairly cool and dry" but there are signs that the warmer weather could return to the south of the UK next week.
But Mr Schafernaker said that the predicted cooler temperatures would only be the average expected for this time of year, and not particularly cold."
