A friend of mine was flying from NY, to San Francisco via Southwest--had a connection in Phoenix, in July. It was 120 degrees (how do you make the degree symbol with word on a Mac?)-- so hot that the air was too thin (hot air expands and is thinner--heat made the air density the same as if it was 12,000 feet) bottom line--a 737 couldn't take off in that heat. All flights were grounded until the next day when it was a chilly 110 degrees...
