Title is a little misleading as they are referring to Death Valley - but it looks like records could be broken in a lot of areas of the southwest US with temperatures approaching 120 degrees.

We are entering the "find out" phase a lot sooner and quicker than even my pessimistic self could have predicted.

    oh, we face those temps here in the tropics too. and its worse because its humid heat so your sweat doesn't even evaporate.

    43ºC is like average in rio de janeiro's summer.

      I would be dead in less than 24hrs. I've only been in 40+ a handful of times and it was always a super dry desert area
