Lao Yang removes his tyres after they get covered with melted tar. As China bakes under a heatwave temperatures have risen so high that one tarmac road in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, has quite literally melted. The temperature in Zhengzhou reached as high as 40 degrees Celsius (104F), raising the surface temperature of the street to around 70 degrees Celsius (158F)...The melted tar covers the tyres of a bus. The rocketing temperatures came just days after one of the roads in the town, Xinghua Street, had been freshly tarred. Under the intense heat the newly laid asphalt began to melt and there was chaos as vehicles became stuck."Picture: QUIRKY CHINA NEWS / REX FEATURES
