Heatwave melted roads in Ireland and the U.K.

Roads melted “like chocolate” across the U.K. and Ireland this week as a heatwave blasted the area. Photos posted to social media by drivers and government agencies depicted the damage caused by surface temperatures reaching 125 degrees. Roadworks authorities were planning to spread light-colored sand on the worst-affected stretches to act as both a sunscreen and to help stabilize the liquefying bitumen, which can be a hazard for drivers, SWNS reports. http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/06/29/heatwave-melted-roads-in-ireland-and-u-k.html
