It's time to crack out the barbecue and sunscreen, it's going to be a ho-ho-hot one on Christmas Day.

The mercury is set to hover around 30C across Australia - perfect weather to throw a shrimp on the barbie or play a game of beach cricket.

Adelaide is set to be the hottest with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting 37C.
