New EU border checks at Dover suspended after queues in high temps

Temperatures in parts of the UK are expected to be higher than the Seychelles on Saturday, following the hottest day of the year so far on Friday. Multiple temperature records could be broken over the coming days, with highs of 30C likely in the south of England on Saturday. To ease congestion at the Port of Dover, French authorities have suspended extra EU border checks, allowing those who missed their ferry crossing to travel on the next available slot free of charge.
