This year, Death Valley hit 126 on July 7 and will likely continue that stretch of days with 125-plus temperatures through Tuesday. DEATH VALLEY UPDATE 🌡️ High temp at Death Valley today = 130F. But none of these quite compares to the staggering 130 in Death Valley -- 13 degrees above normal. However, the WMO later determined the Libya measurement was faulty and officially de-certified it as the official all-time highest global temperature, giving that designation instead to the Death Valley temperature on July 10, 1913. However, there is speculation the 1913 Death Valley record may also be invalid due to faulty placement of the instrumentation.
