The hottest place on earth is expected to set or tie a record this weekend.
Almost a third of the country, stretching from the Mississippi River across the Southwest to the Pacific Ocean, is sweating under heat advisories, heat watches, and excessive heat warnings. The temperature index — a measure of what it feels like outside — has hit between 103 and 125 degrees. But that range is lower than the actual temperature in Death Valley, California. The old, undisputed mark — set in 2021 — is 129.
While locals there are taking a plunge to cool down, officials are warning tourists that it's too hot to head out for a hike, because if it's anywhere from 110 to 115 degrees in the air, it's likely that it could be anywhere from 131 to 140 degrees on a trail. Just last week, a woman died hiking in the Grand Canyon.
