“Death Valley” in America sets temperature record


Death Valley in California, known for its extreme temperatures, has recorded the hottest month ever, with an average temperature of 108.5 degrees Fahrenheit in July, the highest figure ever recorded globally.

Temperatures in Death Valley ranged between 111 and 129 degrees Fahrenheit, with at least 125 degrees recorded for nine consecutive days.

The same month also saw record-high temperatures in other western U.S. cities such as Las Vegas and Santa Fe. The extreme heat has led to heat-related deaths and injuries, including the death of a motorcyclist on July 6 and rescues of people experiencing heat-related health issues.

It is noteworthy that Death Valley had previously recorded the highest temperatures in July 2018 with an average of 108.1 degrees, but this month has clearly surpassed that. Other American cities also recorded temperature highs, reflecting a widespread heatwave affecting multiple regions.

Weather forecasts anticipate continued rising temperatures in the coming weeks, exacerbating the wildfire season and other weather-related activities.
