I don't know if that's for the runway or for the tires (or just heat in general), but I wonder if those factors played into things in the UK?
Some afternoon and evening flights are sometimes cancelled at LAS if it's over 110°. Something to do with the expansion of the fuel due to the heat, and long-distance jets can't get enough on board.
It's in the local newspaper there occasionally, and should be Googleable.

- reaperducer 4y agoThat's a factor for canceling flights on smaller, lower range jets. The big long-distance jets have the problem I mentioned.
