Death Valley is one of the most famous desert regions in North America. It currently holds the official world record for the hottest temperature, which is 134 degrees Fahrenheit, that was recorded at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913. It’s so hot that summer temperatures will often soar above 120 degrees in the shade, with low temperatures in the 90s.
During the big heatwaves in Southern California, heat tourists will often flock to Death Valley to experience the heat and take photos next to a large display showcasing the current temperature.
