DEATH VALLEY HITS 130 DEGREES F

Firefighters struggle to contain an exploding northern California wildfire under blazing temperatures as another heatwave blankets the western U.S., prompting an excessive heat warning for inland and desert areas.

Death Valley in southeastern California's Mojave Desert reached 128 degrees Fahrenheit (53 Celsius) on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service's (NWS) reading at Furnace Creek.

The shockingly high temperature was actually lower than the previous day when the location reached 130 F.

If confirmed as accurate, the 130-degree reading would be the highest temperature recorded there since July 1913, when Furnace Creek desert hit 134 F, considered the highest measured temperature on Earth. About 300 miles (483 kilometers) northwest of the sizzling desert, the largest wildfire of the year in California is raging along the border with Nevada - link
