California's death valley sets new record for hottest month

California’s Death Valley may have just set a world record for hottest month ever. The area’s average temperature for the month of July was 42.28 degrees Celsius. That is higher than the earlier world record, set last July in Death Valley as well.

Todd Lericos, a weather expert for the National Weather Service, said the record beat last year’s record by “quite a bit.” He added that the data still needed to be further examined before going into official record books. The temperatures are measured at Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park.

Death Valley got its name from a group of pioneers who became lost there in 1849 and 1850. They feared they were all going to die, the National Park Service says. And one person in the group did before the rest found their way out.

İn the springtime, Death Valley National Park bursts to life with visitors who come to see the desert wildflowers. But by May, Death Valley is already extremely hot, the National Park Service says. Visitors from around the world still come, but not to see the blooms. Instead, they want to experience one of the hottest places on earth.

Summer heat there is so extreme that travelers are warned to drink at least four liters of water each day, carry extra water in their cars, stay close to their vehicles, and watch themselves and others for signs of heat illness.

This warning appears on the National Park Service's Death Valley Twitter page, seen Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018.
