Heck of a time and place to learn that your car doesn't have a functioning AC and bad tires.

It’s Death Valley. It’s summer. As a San Diegan he knew this meant extreme temperatures. Maybe something else killed him?

The headline is right out of “1984”. Pure Propaganda

I presume two flat tires when he veered off the road? About 20 years aog I got two flat tires in Rye Patch while out gold prospecting, about 10 miles from pavement and 20 from Winnemucca. That made for an interesting day.

And yet people presumably drove through the Desert Southwest for years in vehicles without existing air conditioning and lived in the South of the US without it as well. Did many fewer people live in the deep South before AC was widely available and affordable, using “swamp cooler-type evaporation devices? Curious about if people drove through the heat like that back before vehicle AC and how they did it?

126? My thermometer here in Bullhead City registered 128 on Sunday. During the summer, 120-125 is kinda normal.

Unfortunately something like this is pretty much a yearly occurrence in desert areas. Has nothing to do with climate change.
To: gibsonguy
The weather in Death Valley and the low desert here in Arizona has always been between 120-130 in the heat of the summer.

“This came the day after Death Valley reached 126 degrees, the hottest temperature anywhere on the planet in 2023.”
“SFGate” drama translation: if it wasn’t for climate change this wouldn’t have happened.
It wasn’t named “Death Valley” 170 years ago for nothing!

I am in Phoenix. The billboards register 117 degrees mid-afternoon. We call it summer.

I once stayed in a motel in Death Valley in the middle of summer. Interestingly, most of the guests there were German. I also met tourists from England.
To: Hildy
Just look at the temperature increase since the beginning of the year. If it is 126 after only six months, it should be above boiling within the next six months. All because people mow their lawns and drive ICE vehicles.

We tried visiting in late January for a guest from South America. We saw nothing but fog. That was the wrong time, too.

Could be the highest recorded temperature in the entire universe ever.

There was a math professor that disappeared in Oregon, years ago. OK...cool...the Oregon woods are nice for walking...clear your head, contemplate things, from the serious to the mundane...things like “I wonder why they call this the Cougar Reservoir Wilderness.
