New EU border checks at the Port of Dover are suspended after long queues formed for motorists, according to reports. The suspension comes as the weather becomes unusually hot over the start of a bank holiday weekend, with temperatures rising and delays extending for drivers waiting at the port. RTE News reports that motorists queue for hours amid climbing temperatures, while the Evening Standard links the disruption to the same period of extreme heat. Additional details from the Evening Standard say the UK experiences the hottest day of the year so far, and that multiple temperature records could be broken in the days ahead. Together, the outlets describe a situation in which the introduction of the checks coincides with a spike in travel demand and severe weather conditions, leading to congestion at Dover. The reports focus on the operational suspension of the checks as authorities respond to the queueing and heat-related conditions at the port during the holiday period.
