SOUTH Bucks is set to bask in temperatures of up to 30C (and maybe even hotter) this Saturday as the hot weather makes a welcome return.

After a decidely grim June so far, Saturday's forecast is for sun from dawn until dusk.

It'll be the hottest day of the week but not the only day of sunshine with hot weather also predicted today, tomorrow and Sunday. 

Temperatures will drop slightly at the beginning of next week and cloud will take over for the most part. 

Before then, however, it will be as hot or hotter here than these holiday destinations, according to the Met Office:

These maps show whether it will be colder or warmer than usual for the time of year over the coming days.

The hot weather is due to a Saharan 'heat bubble' which is sweeping across Europe, leading to temperatures of more than 40C on the continent.
