High temperature reduces aircraft performance in a variety of ways. Hot air is less dense than cool air, meaning it contains fewer oxygen molecules that engines require to support combustion. It also means the wings will produce less lift for a given ground speed. This, at a minimum, increases the required takeoff distance, possibly to greater than the available runway length.

Above about 120F, many airplanes cannot take off because this exceeds their demonstrated safe performance.

Can airplanes take off in rain?

Yes. Although a certain amount of drag is introduced when airplanes are flying in the rain, this is minimal and has very little effect on the handling of the aircraft. Airplanes can take off, fly, and land in the rain in perfect safety.
