With temperatures soaring this week, there were concerns about melting roads and runways across the country.
On Tuesday, temperatures hit record highs of 40C, and pavements in Hull City Centre couldn't cope.
The road outside Carr Lane, truly felt the head as the footway buckled, and warped - creating a v-shaped bump.
Hull City Council has posted on Facebook a photograph of the badly affected pavement and the temporary fix made. The local authority says that, with temperatures now beginning to subside, it does not expect any further problems.
On Facebook, the council said: "We have carried out a temporary fix to make the footpath safe on Carr Lane, where the extreme heat had caused the paving to lift. With temperatures subsiding, we don’t expect any similar situations, but we will be reviewing and replacing expansion joints where necessary."
Boiling temperatures were recorded across the country on Tuesday with Coningsby in Lincolnshire reaching a UK record of 40.3C while, in Hull, the mercury hit 38C.
But later today, temperatures will fall sharply - and by tomorrow will struggle to hit 20C.
Meanwhile on Monday, Luton Airport cancelled all flights as the runway melted due to the extreme weather.
Luton Airport, which has one runway, is used by airlines including EasyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and TUI. Temperatures in Luton reached 36C at the beginning of the week.
And because of the rising temperatures, the last flight is believed to have taken off before the airport suspended departures at 3.07pm.
A spokesperson for Luton Airport said: "Following today's [Monday's] high temperatures, a surface defect was identified on the runway.
"Engineers were called immediately to the site- and repair works are currently in progress to resume operations as soon as possible.
"We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused."
Due to a similar reason, the RAF also halted flights in and out of its largest air base in the UK, Brize Norton, because the "runway melted", according to reports.
