Hot weather - CPU temp issues?

Phew what a scorcher!

I just checked my CPU temp and it is 75-77C, much higher than last time I checked (it was 58-60 a few months ago).

Is this likely to be due to the weather? Is it running too hot to be safe?

Any steps I can take to cool it down?

I have a good akasa cooler with variable speed set to maximum - I could put a bit more heat paste on if it would help.

Cheers

Edit - I have just rebooted and it is showing 69C now - maybe 77 was a faulty reading - but it's a bit too high to run safely isn't it?
