Summer is set to make a return this weekend as temperatures are expected to soar up to 84 Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius).

A plume of hot air is coming our way straight from Spain - which saw record high temperatures of 117F (47C) on Thursday.

While it may cool down a bit by the time it hits our shoes, we will still be basking in 89F (32C) heat by midweek. 

On Saturday, temperatures will rise to 78F (26C) in London and the South and 73F (23C) in the Midlands and then increase to 84F (29C) in the South and 75F (24C) in the Midlands on Sunday, according to the Met Office.

This comes after most of the country was hit by wet weather earlier this week after several days of sunshine.
