A car drives past a sign warning of the danger of extreme heat on the eve of a day that could set a new world heat record in Death Valley National Park on July 15, 2023 near Furnace Creek, California. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for a high of 129°F and possibly as high as 131°C. Previously, the hottest temperature reliably recorded on Earth was 129.2 F (54 C) in Death Valley in 2013. A century earlier, the temperature was reported to be rising in Death Valley. It reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit but many modern weather experts dismiss that claim along with the high summer temperatures reported in the area that year. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
