California’s Death Valley may have just set a world record for hottest month ever. The area’s average temperature for the month of July was 42.28 degrees Celsius. That is higher than the earlier world record, set last July in Death Valley as well. Todd Lericos, a weather expert for the National Weather Service, said the record beat last year’s record by “quite a bit.” He added that the data still needed to be further examined before going into official record books. The temperatures are measured at Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park. Death Valley got its name from a group of pioneers who became lost there in 1849 and 1850. They feared they were all going to die, the National Park Service says. And one person in the group did before the rest found their way out.
