It's fine to like wearing a baseball cap. I prefer a wide brim, provided I don't look like a Texan or Mexican cowboy, or a Victorian woman.
Yesterday our home WX station UV alert was on and temp only 0.1 °C below the local record of 28.3 °C (Mid West of Ireland, not far from big cool Shannon estuary). It might be hotter later this afternoon. Normally 18 °C might be a warm day!
EDIT
13:36 IST
Now we currently have 29.8 °C outside and variously 22.8 °C - 24.3 °C in the house.
Aircon here is only in some larger shops and some cars. So pull curtains & close windows during day and open after dark.
EDIT 2!
