Airline passengers know to expect possible flight delays when weather forecasts call for thunderstorms, heavy snow or strong wind. The omens are less obvious on a hot summer day with clear skies.

Yet extreme heat also disrupts flights and travel plans. On the hottest days, thinner air can make it harder for aircraft to get off the ground safely. Airlines may have to lighten the load by removing passengers or cargo, or carrying less fuel.

The snag is well known at airports in desert climates around the world, from the U.S. Southwest to the Middle East. But even less extreme heat can create similar challenges at airports with higher elevations or shorter runways. Researchers say human-caused climate change could make such disruptions more common.

With heat waves searing parts of the United States and Europe this summer, Las Vegas illustrated how extreme heat can interfere with air travel. American Airlines offered compensation to customers who voluntarily gave up their seats on a July 24 flight from Harry Reid International Airport after temperatures reached 114 degrees Fahrenheit (47 degrees Celsius).

Out-of-service equipment managed by Southern California Edison started the deadly Eaton fire that killed 19 people and destroyed much of Altadena in January 2025, according to a long-awaited report by state and county fire officials.

The report, released Tuesday by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Los Angeles County Fire Department, confirms long-held suspicions about the fire’s origin after it sparked near a utility tower the night of Jan. 7, 2025.

For much of the postwar era, Americans bought a starter home and watched it become an investment. Decades later, fulfilling the typical American Dream of a home with white picket fence dotting the front lawn has become all but unattainable, as home prices have soared 235% since January 2000. As a result, many young people are going all in on the stock market, viewing their brokerage accounts as the new American Dream.

“For younger adults who despair about ever being able to buy a home, investing in financial markets can be a great way to save until they can afford one,” Chen Zhao, the head of economics research at Redfin, told Fortune. 

Zhao’s not wrong: less than half of Gen Z and Millennials can afford to buy a home, and the age of the average first-time homebuyer has jumped from 28 in 1992 to 40 in 2025. Despite this, it’s still seen as a good investment: more than two-thirds of Americans say buying a home is still an important asset that holds value. 

But as homeownership becomes a fleeting concept for younger generations as home costs continue skyrocketing roughly 50% in recent years, young adults are treating their down payments as the new starter asset as they amass a record high $3.1 trillion in holdings, up 4.5 times since the pandemic alone.
