It’s chilly out there, South Florida. Well, by our standards at least.

Temperatures dropped into the 60s Monday morning, and while it will heat up later in the day, it won’t get too hot.

The National Weather Service in Miami is calling for a high of 82 in Miami-Dade and a high of 80 in Broward.

“This is the weather that we live for,” said Lissette Gonzalez, meteorologist for Miami Herald news partner CBS Miami. She noted that the coldest temperature in the region was recorded in Kendall — 61 degrees.

It’s not cold enough for falling frozen iguanas yet, but, it is light sweater weather, a perfect way to bring in South Florida’s holiday season.

Will this cooler weather last?

“As high pressure continues to remain over South Florida, temperatures will remain fairly consistent this week with high temperatures each afternoon close to seasonal norms,” the weather service said on Twitter. “Outside of a few isolated showers, things will remain quiet weather-wise!”

Forecasters say you can expect lows in the mid- to upper-60s this week, with highs in the low-80s.

Is it cold enough for hot chocolate and churros yet?

Not really. But you can always cheat. We won’t tell.
