  The average price for a gallon in the US rose to an eight-month high yesterday of $3.71, per AAA. While that’s far below last summer’s peak of $5.02 per gallon, gas prices have been creeping up due to refineries going offline unexpectedly and higher demand for oil at a time when supply isn’t there to meet it. Bloomberg Opinion’s oil guru, Javier Blas, notes that global oil consumption has likely reached a record high.

  In the fragile airline industry, which is already juggling huge demand and worker shortages, the heat is disrupting operations even further:
  

  
  
  • Warm air is less dense and requires planes to have longer runways and lighter weight to lift off, which can cause delays.
  
  
  • Workers on the tarmac need more frequent breaks from slinging away suitcases.
  
  
  • It’s difficult to cool down a plane once it’s been disconnected from cooling units at the gate. Left idling, an aircraft’s cabin temperature can reach a dangerous level—such was the case with a Delta flight last week in Las Vegas. The airline is under investigation for leaving passengers on the tarmac in a sweltering plane without A/C for hours.
