But it’s a “dry heat.” 🔥 Did two hobbits just throw a ring into the valley? The thermometer display at Furnace Creek Visitor Center recently glitched while displaying 667°F as it was resetting itself after a power outage last week. Heck, that’s hot. Though the temp was a bit off, Death Valley National Park had already reached at least 125°F (51.7°C) for nine consecutive days, July 4-12. Average high temperatures in July are 117°F (47°F). The recent heat wave included three daily heat records and peaked at 129.3°F (53.9°C) on July 7. This was the park’s second-longest streak of high temperatures at or above 125 degrees, just behind the ten-day streak measured in 1913. Remember, when the temperature is up, and you’re feelin’ hot hot hot, make sure and minimize time outside in the heat, drink plenty of water, and wear sun protection . Image: HOTTOGO!
