It is called 'Death Valley' for a reason, you know, right? None the less, these idiots will march out there to see for themselves...
The National Weather Service at one point this week forecast a high of 131F on Sunday at a station near the national park's Furnace Creek visitors' center, which would set a new world record. 'There's a decent chance that Death Valley will see a high temperature this weekend between 130 and 132F, which (if it occurs) would either tie or break record for the hottest temperature reliably measured on Earth,' tweeted climate scientist Daniel Swain.
Death Valley's 1913 record high of 134F has been disputed for decades by experts who believe the measurement resulted from a sandstorm that caused superheated particles to hit the thermometer.
Death Valley is a pretty cool place. I've experienced 126 degrees. Not sure how much hotter 131 could feel. Drink water and shade yourself when you can. At least there won't be any pussies out there.

ReplyDeleteI have been in 127 degree heat in Kuwait. I was waiting on military air lift out in a hanger with no AC. I gave a self administered IV for 3 days and made it out at 105 degrees at 3 am. Above 105 degrees you cannot hydrate enough to stay alive for more than 24 hours without an IV.

I am from California born in the late 50s. My parents are from Arizona and we were on the poor side in LA. I spent the summers from 4-13 years old working with my Grandfather in Tucson on his Landscaping service because the smog in LA bothered me. Heat would rise to 115 at max, we would get sand storms. My parents did not have A/C in their house in the LA suburbs even though in the summer it would get up to 105 at max. My Grandparents did have A/C but working out all day in AZ it was just using water and staying under shade when possible.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a dry heat.
