So how about a reminder of some sunny events across Sunderland in times gone by.
We have nine scenes of people having fun in the sun over the years including some at events such as summer fairs and festivals, and others on the beach at Seaburn.
The good news is, the warmer weather may return towards the end of the month. In the meantime, why not enjoy our picture selection.
Are you in the picture or can you spot someone you know? Why not take a look and tell us more.
