Tourists flock to Death Valley to experience possible world-record heat of 131 degrees

Can you imagine 131 degrees in south Louisiana????

I’ve been to Death Valley in the summer and yeah it’s hot but it isn’t suffocating.
Frankly the hottest place on the goddamn planet has to be San Antonio in July.

Id love to feel it once. Just to see what its like.
I've got some thermal test chambers at work I can put you in and set em to 130 for a few hours. You can experience -40 while your in there too if you want.

currently 118° in furnace creek but the heat index is only 109. So it feels hotter here in Baton Rouge and it’s only 96°

These idiots can spend a day in the plant with me. Hang out in the reactor area where each one is running around 800 degrees. Always a joy in the summer time

Pro tip:
If you're in or around Thibodaux right now you can have bragging rights over those folks. Your temp feels hotter than their's.
It really is a dry heat.
ETA:
They're at 120° right now with a heat index of 107°.

Go in your attic on a clear, 90+ degree day. It’ll be about 150
Posted on 7/14/23 at 5:16 pm to Tigerfan1274
about to go up there and change the ac filters, it’s 106 right now

You can’t access your A/C filters without going into the attic?

And they’ll all probably have fans and ice packs and portable AC’s.
If so they’re a bunch of cheaters.

Maybe fly a few hundred of the firefighting planes over and dump it with a bunch of water so they can raise the humidity and get the "feels like" up to about 160 degrees.
They aren’t wasting any water over there.

Previous record was set over 100 years ago

That Forbes article that the NY Post quotes is something.
It states:
The article was written yesterday afternoon, so I don't know what the NWS Las Vegas office was forecasting then, but they aren't forecasting that now.
It states:

Forecasters with the National Weather Service believe Death Valley’s Furnace Creek will reach 131 degrees on Sunday, with a low temperature that night of 101 degrees.

It also reached 130° in August of 2020. For some inexplicable reason that Forbes article called that a new world record, despite the July 1913 reading of the same temperature.
I'm not sure what to make of this quote:
quote:
Scientists believe Death Valley set the world’s all-time heat record once again in 2020, before outdoing itself the following year, though temperature measurements in both cases fell just shy of the 1913 record.
I guess tying record daily highs now means we can print the shirts.
This is getting very similar reporting as the "record rainfall" in Death Valley last year.
