What is an Excessive Heat Warning?

Warning
Watch

Heat Index (HI) values forecast to meet or exceed locally defined warning criteria for at least two days (Typical values: 1) Maximum daytime HI>=105°F north to110°F south and 2) Minimum nighttime lows >=75°F).

Note: The Excessive Heat Warning/Heat Advisory criteria is highly variable in different parts of the country due to climate variability and the effect of excessive heat on the local population.

As temperature increases, and humidity increases, the air becomes less dense, and therefore the air creates less lift for the airplane. It follows, then, that airplanes need more runway to take off. In 2000, the north runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the longest, was lengthened to 11,490 feet.

Each airplane has its own specifications that dictate, based on weight, engine performance, temperature, humidity, and elevation how much runway a pilot requires to safely take off.

For example, on June 29, 2013 the high temperature for that date was recorded as 120°F just after 4 p.m. US Airways (subsequently merged with American Airlines) had aircraft utilized for regional flights where the specs recommend takeoff at below 118°F. There were 18 flights that were delayed briefly on that day by US Airways for that reason.

Their mainline Boeing and Airbus fleets have performance data allowing them to take off in temperatures of 126°F and 127°F, respectively. Let's hope we never have to test that data!

Could a flight be postponed or canceled due to high temperatures in Phoenix? There are very few occasions where the temperature at the time of takeoff of any of our commercial flights at Sky Harbor International Airport creates a dangerous situation. Airlines certainly have the right to have more stringent requirements than the FAA does. An airline can choose to postpone or cancel a flight at any time. Sometimes air carriers will reduce their cargo loads on very hot summer days. It's unlikely that they would reduce the number of passengers; reducing cargo would make a bigger difference in weight. In the case of Phoenix summer temperatures, it's more likely that the flight might be postponed for a little while so that passengers and/or cargo are not left behind.
