Extreme heat is causing problems for buildings. Cracks are appearing across walls and doors are getting stuck. This is happening because the ground is shifting and shrinking due to dry soil.

A spokesperson for the British Geological Survey notes that subsidence is a significant issue. The dry weather is contributing to the problem, causing the ground to dry out and pull buildings down.

Further information is available from the source, including details about the affected areas and the impact of the heat on other infrastructure, such as train tracks and schools.
