A.暑くなりました
B.暑くなってきた
1. From format point of view
A. uses polite ending word of ました(past tense of ます).
It is suitable for formal situation.
B. has ending without ます.
This pattern is suitable for informal occasion.
2. grammatical difference
If A. is not used ます, then the sentence would be 暑くなった.
Then we compare following sentences.
A. 暑くなった
B. 暑くなってきた
A. 暑く+なった (past tense of verb なる)
It mentions that the weather became hot.
B. 暑く+なって(te-form of なる)+きた(past tense of verb くる)
When adjective is connected to なってくる, it means that the situation is in the process of realizing/becoming how the adjective indicates.
大きくなる ⇔ 大きくなってくる
赤くなる ⇔ 赤くなってくる
A. is telling that now the weather has become hot.
B. is telling that for these days the weather is becoming hot.

The above is adjective + なってくる pattern.
I understand your additional question is without adjective.
When other verbs in te-form are connected to くる, it has two meanings.
1. 来る in the original meaning i.e. "come".
忘れて+くる means 忘れる happened previously, then 来る follows.
It means coming with forgetting something.
2. てくる for the special meaning.
Meaning is gradually processing the action which the verb indicates.
忘れてくる means gradually approaching state of being forget.
Other example are:
海水が満ちてくる becoming full tide
火が消えてくる going out the fire
ひげが伸びてくる growing beard
昔のことが思い出されてくる becoming clearer the remembrance
頭がはげてくる becoming bald head
