Death Valley at 1 am this morning was a mind-boggling 120°F (49°C), before bottoming out at 105°F (40.6°C) at 7 am. One of the hottest nights in Earth's recorded history.
This data is from Badwater Basin in Death Valley, the lowest point in North America: weather.gov/wrh/timeseries…
@US_Stormwatch @060644FranceJen Quelle surprise :)) What will you quote for an encore, why do you think it's called 'Death Valley'?
@US_Stormwatch Unfortunately 120F is not mind boggling but relatively normal this time of the year.
@US_Stormwatch I won’t believe it until I see an alarming red colored map
@US_Stormwatch What’s this then? currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather…
@US_Stormwatch Death Valley. Summertime. Have you been living with your head stuck in a hole in the ground your entire life.
@US_Stormwatch I worked just a few miles away for 3 years, the heat is legend, even the animals don't come out, birds, snakes insects. nothing but silence. Just us intelligent creatures out there working in 120+
@US_Stormwatch It’s weird being in heat like that at night.
@US_Stormwatch Why do they call it Death Valley? It's the scary black guns, right? There must be a lot of assault gun violence and high capacity clips there.
