💨 Abstract

In Britain, unprecedented heat caused roads to melt, leading to significant damage and disruptions. In Cannock, residents faced destructive road conditions with vehicles stuck in molten tar, while others reported tyres and driveways coated in the sticky substance. The council temporarily closed the road to fix the damaged surface. Officials attributed the issue to both severe temperatures, exceeding 30°C, and substandard repair work.
