It's settled across the center of the country near Chicago.

It'll spread eastward through the weekend.

The heat sticks around.

Homes and businesses will keep air conditioners running longer.

Usually at this time of year, energy demand starts to shift from being driven by the need to keep places cool to make sure they're warm enough.

But this year is warmer than normal.

Readings will slow that transition, as you mentioned, Carol, into heating season, according to a report from Bloomberg NEF.

You know, we still have air on at home.

Okay, so I was just going to ask you.

There was a nice couple of weeks in September when we could keep all the windows open.

Then toward the end of September into this week, we did air conditioning.

But last night and the night before, windows open, everything was nice.

instead of next year.

Our team, Julie Johnson and Sid Philip, exclusively reporting this.

Deutsche Lufthansa, the launch customer for the wide-body aircraft, is already laying the groundwork for a fresh setback.

The German airline is not including the 777X in its fleet plans until 2027, said one of the people who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential.

Officials at Emirates, the 777X's biggest customer, have also grown more cautious as it looks at entry into service, possibly not before 2027.

Do you know how long we've been talking about the startup deliveries for the upgraded 777?
