Runway Melts at London Luton Airport
The United Kingdom is "feeling the heat" as it experiences high temperatures throughout its borders. The country recorded its highest temperature today when a provisional reading of 39.1 degrees Celsius (102.4 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded in Surrey. While this temperature is the average daily high temperature throughout much of the Southern United States, the United Kingdom only sees an average annual temperature of 14 degrees celsius (56 degrees Fahrenheit).

Randy - It's a shame we can't downvote someone right out of Flight Aware - permanently. You'd be the perfect candidate.
Can we please avoid politics in this forum. Great way to ruin a thread is to insert comments disparaging conservative or liberal folks. We're here because we love aviation!
I just wish the media would quit using the word tarmac in describing runways, taxiways and ramps. Not everything is made from asphalt.
Living in the land of dirt runways (actually well compacted gravel) we still call the tarmac a tarmac.
Are you saying you refer to the dirt runways as tarmac? cuz, ya know, tarmac is a material, not the space an aircraft travels on.
The pilots, the flight clerk, the airport maintainable…all call it tarmac. It may be slang but it’s the same slang across the north.
And asphalt is not tarmac.
