As scorching weather grilled west and southwest parts of the United States, temperatures in California's Death Valley, famed for its record-breaking heat, reached 54 degrees Celsius (129 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time this year.
"This is early to have this much of a heatwave. It's happened before, but it's not that common," Death Valley National Park Spokesperson Abby Wines said.
Park Spokesperson Abby Wines said the near record-breaking temperature on Wednesday could just be the beginning of this summer's Death Valley heat.

I was in Las Vegas when it was 116*. You can take dry heat better than wet, but it was killer heat. We were in a water park most of the day.
Drove through there once in August by mistake. Had to wear gloves to put in gas with the metal gas handle being too hot to handle without gloves on...... good learning experience for travelers....
Not a desirable place to be in the summer....
