Dickens, Great Expectations

Though it was a warm pleasant sort of a night now yet wonderfully cool for the season considering, for sunshine after storm.

Joyce, Ulysses

Joyce, Dubliners

In the sunshine the air was warm, and that warmth was particularly pleasant with the invigorating freshness of the morning frost still in the air.

Tolstoy, War and Peace

The sun had been shining brightly all day on the roof of my attic, and the room was warm.

- "It was sunny and hot."
