This week, a heat wave hits North America. Extremely hot weather forecast for tomorrow in Phoenix, Arizona, has caused American Airlines to cancel 43 flights from Sky Harbor International Airport. From 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

According to a statement from American Airlines, American Eagle regional flights use Bombardier CRJ aircraft with a maximum operating temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit (about 48 degrees Celsius). The temperature forecast for Phoenix on Tuesday is 120 degrees Fahrenheit (about 49 degrees Celsius), which will affect flights departing between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Affected passengers can contact American Airlines to rebook or receive a refund.

High temperature weather will affect the flight ability of the aircraft. Hot air is less dense than cold air, and the higher the temperature, the faster the aircraft needs to rise. If the runway is not long enough, the aircraft cannot reach the required speed.

However, larger jets, such as those from Airbus and Boeing, are not expected to be affected by this week's heat wave.

Due to the weather, it is recommended that everyone stay indoors and not go out for a walk. . . Because the barbecue smell in Phoenix is ​​already strong. . . . .
