This is mostly for the Desert SW. Many areas will be approaching 115-120 degrees (LAS, PHX, PSP).
I was in Phoenix that day. They said the airlines didn't have the existing manuals for taking off at that temperature. Airport was closed for about 30 minutes.
We cooked an egg on the sidewalk. Didn't eat it though
