Yeah, probably. It's even been hot "up north". Did wear a light wool top today, but it was thoroughly soaked after about 20 miles.
BTW, the top today is one of the new shirts/jerseys available from Rivendell. Very comfortable, but definitely cut on the small size, Purchased a jumbo/3x and it is still a touch tighter than would be ideal. But my ideal is pretty close to being a huge bag over my body.
