“It feels like a blow-dryer in my face,” said Ross Nikides, 31, who had stopped in DeathValley as part of a three-week road trip to see several national parks. “It’s the hottest I’ve ever felt.” — The Times' whereishayley
Southern Californians can expect another day of hot weather as a heat wave covers the region, bringing triple-digit temperatures and increased fire danger.
But Death Valley — a long, narrow basin that plunges far below sea level — is tailor-made to bake. Hot air is trapped by surrounding mountains and circulated like a convection oven. Richard Hancock, 28, had traveled from Birmingham, England, and was en route to Las Vegas with a friend’s bachelor party. The group had sojourned to Badwater Basin, the park’s lowest point and the lowest point in North America, which sits 282 feet below sea level.
That record has been disputed, with some doubting its authenticity due to outdated tools and record-keeping, but the World Meteorological Organization and the National Weather Service say it still stands. And the hots will keep getting hotter as the burning of fossil fuels continues to heat the planet. Seven of Death Valley’s hottest summers on record have occurred in the last 10 years, Ponce said.
