"has" is not correct it should be "as".
A later sentence in the article is formed similarly and correctly uses "as" - "The runway also 'melted' at the RAF Brize Norton, military air base in Oxfordshire, west of London, on Monday as the UK struggled to cope with the weather."
- dylan604 4y agoBut the airport can have temperatures. With some additional punctuation, has could be read more clearly.
- ALittleLight 4y agoLet's say "Runway melts" is X and Y is "temperatures in the UK near 40". "X as Y" says that these two things are happening at the same time. That makes sense. "X has Y" is incoherent. I think this matters because some people on hackernews are not native English users. They may be legitimately confused or misled by typos that a native speaker would unconsciously correct.
