Get your sunglasses and loungers at the ready as this weekend's bank holiday in Burton, Uttoxeter and South Derbyshire could be hotter than Tenerife.

Forecasters from the Weather Channel predict that temperatures could soar as high as 20C on Sunday, May 6.

However, according to Metcheck , highs of just 18C are expected in Tenerife on Sunday, so residents in the area will not need to jet off to European hotspots to get a tan.
