ECT and EOT along with TFT hot

The other day i noticed all my temps to be getting pretty high. I usually ran a 190-192 ect with a 190-194 eot and a 150-160 TFT.
Now my ect is climbing into the 210's and the eot is right there with it while the TFT is climbing to the 180's.
I did notice that my coolant was low and filled it back up, but the truck is still running just as hot and isnt losing anymore coolant.

Is this due to hotter weather or what could be wrong?

How would I know if the egr cooler or oil cooler was bad?
I'm not really sure at all as to what all could be a possibility.

But the problem is my truck is running this hot completely empty with a pretty low tune. The weather alone shouldn't really cause a 20 degree rise should it?
