Heat stops trains
Delays and some cancellations to train services are being reported on the line between Wrexham Central and Bidston.
Transport for Wales says this is "due to a shortage of trains".
Rail passengers in South Wales are facing major travel disruption after the heatwave brought several Valleys lines to a complete standstill.
There are no services between Pontypridd and Merthyr and Aberdare as the railway line has been damaged by heat.
Transport for Wales (TfW) say they are unable to run any services on the line today for "safety reasons".
The cancellations are likely to cause significant disruption for the thousands of fans heading to the Stereophonics' second night at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.
Both lakeside car parks now closed
Eryri National Park Authority said the Llangower car park on on the south side of Llyn Tegid is also full.
If you were thinking of visiting the area this afternoon, park in town and walk down or arrange a visit at a different time.

Wales records hottest day of the year on Saturday
Wales records hottest day of the year on Saturday The country saw UK highs in Cardiff and Usk on Saturday Hundreds packed Barry Island on Saturday for the hottest day of the year (Image: Richard Swingler ) Saturday was Wales' hottest day of the year so far and the hottest day since July of 2022 as temperatures reached scorching highs of 33.1C. The heat bordered on uncomfortable in parts of the south where Cardiff and Usk saw the country's highest recorded temperatures of 33.1C. Just over the border in Ross on Wye the temperature also reached 33.1C. It became so warm there was severe travel disruption after the heat caused a defect in the railway line at Abercynon, preventing services between Pontypridd, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil. It led to cancellations for the thousands of Stereophonics fans heading into Cardiff city centre who crammed the city on Saturday afternoon despite the sweltering conditions. Transport for Wales has warned travellers of continued disruption into Saturday evening and Sunday. You can recap that here. Scores of people headed to the coast instead as motorists reported queues for the car park at Oxwich Bay were up to an hour long while others typically headed for Barry Island. Pictures taken on Saturday morning, when temperatures were already pushing 30C, showed hundreds of people along the beach near the pleasure park in Barry while car parks were jam-packed. Article continues below A series of running events had to be cancelled too in Eryri due to the heat while Sunday's Swansea Ironman event could be set to be the warmest on record. According to BBC weatherman Derek Brockway Saturday saw the hottest day in Wales since July 2022 where temperatures got to 37.1C in Hawarden, Flintshire. If you're wondering when the heat might become a bit more manageable, you might need to wait another day as the temperatures are expected to reach similar levels on Sunday, likely to be just a degree or two lower with some cloud cover in the afternoon according to the Met Office. Then from Monday it is turning cooler with some rain expected too on Monday and Tuesday which could at times be heavy and thundery. Monday is likely to see highs of 21C and towards the middle of the week it'll likely return to the average temperatures for the year - hovering around 20C and generally pleasant from Wednesday onwards. Records were also broken on Saturday in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, where the fire service issued an extreme risk of wildfire warning, it reached 32C - just the seventh time that has happened since records began. Northern Ireland reached 30C for the first time since July 2022. Article continues below There was also a hosepipe ban declared for millions of people in England while an amber weather warning covered parts of the south.

Ultra runners 'escorted' off Yr Wyddfa as five races abandoned in searing heat
Long-distance running challenges on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) have been abandoned in today's searing heat (Saturday, July 12). Competitors are being helped off Wales' highest mountain after temperatures hit the high 20s. Five events were stopped, including marathon and ultra distances. Also abandoned was the BlackYr Wyddfa/Snowdon24 event, in which competitors are challenged to run up and down the mountain as many times as possible in 24 hours. It's billed as the 'ultimate ultra trail endurance race'. In a social media statement, organiser Always Aim High Events (AAHE) said: 'Due to extreme temperatures, it is no longer safe to continue with the event. All runners are currently being safely escorted off the mountain by our event staff and mountain leader team. 'Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of all participants. Please bear with us as we focus on ensuring everyone returns safely. Thank you for your understanding.' Although temperatures at the summit were a forecasted 22C-23C, the event's base in Llanberis was expected to reach at least 28C. Humidity levels are also relatively high, with little wind. An Anglesey woman, who marshalled the events on the Snowdon Ranger Path where it meets the Maesgwyn Path, said conditions were tough. 'I really struggled in the heat and I was only directing them,' she said. 'Never so glad to get of a mountain when I stepped down. Good call, disappointing for the runners but safety comes first.' Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Another marshall said it was 'already incredibly hot' at 7am near the mountain railway line. In view of the conditions, one competitor said he had stepped down from the marathon to the half-marathon to be on the safe side. The decision was widely applauded, though eyebrows were raised. 'The weather has been forecast in advance,' said one woman on social media. 'So why not have just re-scheduled rather than let people start?' Online, a competitor said the races 'should never have started!' Another suggested the cautious approach was the right one. 'Better that everyone is safe and well,' she said. 'Massive well down to the organisers and volunteers to get everyone safely back to Llanberis. There's always next year!' But an ultra runner in the Black Diamond 24-hour event felt he should have been able to make his own decision. Alternatively, the race could have been held for a few hours to allow conditions to cool, he said. Writing online, he said: 'Yes it's a hot day but an intelligent athlete who has trained for ultra distance generally knows how to self manage and pace according to conditions. 'The line I've been given is that mountain rescue were overwhelmed but I doubt very much that the ultra runners were amongst the casualties. I for one am incredibly disappointed, I have been prepping and planning for this event and feel I could/should have been trusted to manage the conditions.' Other races scheduled for today included a 10K, Half Marathon and a "kids race". The first event began at 6.30am, the last at 10am. AAHE announced its decision online at 1.35pm.
