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.

You're right lol. It's our winter right now and I'm in the hottest part of the country where winter is 29c for us. I just assumed that we always had hotter weather than the US.
