Yes, OK, that's pretty hot

Tomorrow may be Britain's hottest day ever - Britain - Times Online

I recently joked about how Britain considers anything above 30 degrees as a heatwave. Well, it appears that tomorrow may reach 38, which counts as "hot" anywhere. The Times says:

Roads have begun to melt and fans and air conditioning are placing massive demands on electricity suppliers as forecasters predict an all-time record high temperature for Britain tomorrow, when the mercury could nudge 38C.

OK, it's hot, but roads shouldn't be melting. What do they use there, toffee for bitumen?
