Signs at hiking trails advise against venturing out after 10 a.m., though nighttime temperatures are still expected to be over 90 F . The hottest temperature recorded at Death Valley was 134 F in July 1913, according to the park service.
Preliminary information form the park service shows at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes across the 424 national park sites. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead in his vehicle at Death Valley earlier this month, according to a news release. "It does feel like the sun has gone through your skin and is getting into your bones," said park Ranger Nichole Andler."It's very hot. I mean, especially when there's a breeze, you would think that maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face," said Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland.
A work stoppage in Beijing stretched into this week after a string of days where temperatures were higher than 35 degrees Celsius .
