The scorching heat that has gripped the United Kingdom is causing some unexpected havoc. In Devon, a series of dramatic cliff falls were reported in the coastal areas, leaving behind huge clouds of dust, according to The Telegraph.
It quoted local publications to say that two huge collapses and a number of smaller rock falls were reported on East Beach in Sidmouth, with pieces of cliff falling down "every half hour".
The recent rise in temperature has caused cracks in the Jurassic Coast's fragile cliffs and weakened the brittle surface and causing landslides.
The police in Devon shared a tweet about the cliff falls and warned people to avoid walking on the beach due to unstable cliffs.
