Worse yet are those people that pronounce "assume" as ASHume. Herp de derp.
The actually say 'ashfôlt, not ashfelt. Like the word ASH followed by the word FAULT. The ASH is really pronounced and is a dead giveaway for a Canadian, like pasta or Mazda.

If you don't believe me, look here and then look here and here. If you still think it's AS, look here .

I am in Canada and only ever heard it pronounced ASH-FAULT. I have been around MANY people using that word too (engineering).
Of course can't unless their roads have a HUGE (or row of) strong magnifying glasses.
Here in the tropics 33c is common, and I've never seen melted pavements and fired plants here
Even in 33 Reaumur (about 41-42 C) I still not very sure!!!

Nobody knows why it stopped. The idea of it being high temperatures was incorrect speculation, certainly incorrect seeing as the area sees over 30°C more or less every year and London has been up to 38°C / 101°F without such problems occuring
I've seen 43C (about 109F) and the pavement was not melting.
They use a different mix.
