Hole opens up in Cardiff road as extreme heat hits Wales

Part of a road in Cardiff has been blocked off after a gaping hole appeared there, which a councillor for the area believed was "weather-related". Residents living near Pantmawr Road in Rhiwbina were shocked to see part of the road collapsing on Saturday.

Temperatures in the Welsh capital reached 33C on Saturday amid the ongoing heatwave in the UK. The Met Office has said a change is on the way, however, with thunderstorms forecast for Wales on Monday and Tuesday. You can read the hour-by-hour forecast over the next couple of days here.

Pictures from Pantmawr Road on Sunday show part of the road having collapsed several feet with barriers erected on the road heading towards the Pantmawr Inn. Traffic was coping relatively well with the disruption, with cars on one side forced to stop at the point where the road has been narrowed due to the hole.
