Temperatures in Death Valley, which runs along part of central California's border with Nevada, were forecast to reach 128 degrees on Sunday at the aptly named Furnace Creek, the National Weather Service said. “The all-time record seems fairly safe today,” said Matt Woods, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Las Vegas office, which monitors Death Valley. Some meteorologists have disputed how accurate Death Valley’s 110-year-old hot-temperature record is, with weather historian Christopher Burt disputing it for several reasons, which he laid out in a blog post a few years ago. Burt, a weather historian for The Weather Company, finds fault with both of those measurements and lists 130 degrees in July 2021 in Death Valley as his hottest recorded temperature on Earth.
