Wow! 130 F is what your water heater is typically set to. Stepping into the shower and setting it to full ‘Death Valley’. Frequent temperatures such as this will be a alarming for our future.
Per the climate data in xmACIS2, this is the first time since 1913 that Death Valley has reached 130F. In July 2013, it last reached 129F. If valid, it would be the hottest August temperature at the site by 3F. @NWSVegas pic.twitter.com/gZNBW4NXI4
