A monitoring station at Death Valley National Park measured a temperature of 130 degrees Sunday — likely a record for August in the park, the National Weather Service says.The temperature at Death Valley National Park hit a scorching 130 degrees on Sunday, marking what could be the hottest temperature on Earth since at least 1913, the National Weather Service says. Any visitors to the park are getting blunt advice:"Travel prepared to survive.
The 130 degrees recorded at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center is the hottest August temperature ever recorded at the national park, which sits along California and Nevada's border. Weather experts say it could also be the world's modern-era high, because Death Valley's 1913 record of 134 degrees has been disputed as unreliable.
Yesterday's incendiary temperature reading was not taken by a human , but by an automated observation system. The preliminary reading is now in the process of being officially verified. "As this is an extreme temperature event, the recorded temperature will need to undergo a formal review," thePer the climate data in xmACIS2, this is the first time since 1913 that Death Valley has reached 130F. In July 2013, it last reached 129F. If valid, it would be the hottest August temperature at the site by 3F.
