Funny, here in KY our temps for June were well below average.
Saved me a few kilowatt hours of coal fired electricity.
El Azizia in Libya has recorded 58 degrees Celsius.
Some people beg to be given stupid prizes.
Don’t do what the Death Valley Germans did in 1996.
It’s a dry heat
I am sure Phoenix is worse, but it is still 102° at 1900 hours in NW Tucson.
AKA, another desert summer..................
Not good for easterners or Californians.
1913 also was when Death Valley hit its coldest recorded temperature ever
It's interesting how the earth is supposedly getting hotter yet this record has stood unbroken for all this time. You'd think it would be getting broken every year.
It’s interesting that Germans like to visit Death Valley in the summer. I once stayed there in the month of June and at the motel, it seemed that most of the guests were German or English.
“The hottest temperature recorded at Death Valley was 134 F (56.6 C) in July 1913, according to the park service.”
You mean to say that is the record and has not been that hot again. What happened to all the global warming bullshit and we only have a few years left, when we can’t even make it to where it was in 1913?
Ah, but it’s a dry heat.
Santa Barbara is not impressed:
“Every June 17, the story is retold of “Santa Barbara’s Hottest Day” on June 17, 1859, when the temperature reached an astounding 133 degrees.”

Imagine the precip it would generate if they put a de-sal plant on the beach and ran a pipeline of fresh water to flood death valley.
I check the weather in a few cities every day.
Yuma, AZ - really hot but no records.
Bluff, UT - pretty hot but no records.
ABQ, NM - hot, heat advisories issued, not even close to record temps.
Loveland, CO - in the upper 80s/low 90s, not even close to record temps.
Atlantic cty, NJ - warm, far from any record.
I have been there in the summer but wanted to visit as a geologist. It was magnificent but a hell hole of heat. It was just normal weather in Death Valley. There is a reason they call it Death Valley. It has nothing to do with global warming which is not real.
