Gritters called out!
I read that gritters were called out yesterday in Cambridge.
The temperature was so hot it was melting the tarmac on the roads and car tyres were sticking to it and ripping it up.
There were also reports of melting roads in Surrey, Norfolk, Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire as road surfaces reached 104 F. The heat also caused some rail lines to buckle.
Another unusual incident was a lady had left her smartphone on the table as she lunched at an outside cafe in Cornwall and the sun destroyed it's screen and camera.
The phone repair people said it was the worst damage they had ever seen, and the phone was a write-off.
