how do you say “hotter than usual” in Hebrew?

The Hebrew word for regular is רגיל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חם-מהרגיל-2.m4a” /] (despite the similarity between the words regular and רגיל, there doesn’t seem to be a connection). And something regular is also typical or usual.
Thus hotter than usual is חם מהרגיל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חם-מהרגיל-1.m4a” /].
For example:

Tomorrow the weather will be warmer than usual for the season.
More than usual is יותר מהרגיל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חם-מהרגיל-4.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חם-מהרגיל-5.m4a” /]הגיעו לכאן הערב יותר אנשים מהרגיל.
More people than usual came here tonight.
