Death Valley, California, USA The average daily temperature throughout the month was 42.3C.

In 2018 a new all-time monthly average of 42.3C was recorded at Death Valley s Furnace Creek Visitor Center - surpassing the record set a year ago by half a degree.

Why Is Death Valley So Hot?

Why is Death Valley so hot?  The top factor (generally) in climate is latitude.  Death Valley’s latitude isn’t extremely far south toward the Equator. Some of the hottest places in the US would surprise you. The biggest factor behind Death Valley s extreme heat is its elevation. Parts of it are below sea level, even though the area is 250 miles (400 kilometers) inland from any major body of water. Also, a major set of mountains (the Sierra Nevada) block moisture from the Pacific from reaching the basin. That really allows for the solar radiation to heat up the air, and really dry it out.
