irv Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Death Valley is famous as the hottest place on earth and driest place in North America. The world record highest air temperature of 134°F (57°C) was recorded at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913. Summer temperatures often top 120°F (49°C) in the shade with overnight lows dipping into the 90s°F (mid-30s°C.)Feb 5, 2022 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 We could use some of that here. Cool, cloudy, rainy for 2 days now. Bummer for all the plans we made for the long weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer for all the plans we made for the long weekend. Same as us. Temps down to 10 Celsius at night and not much warmer than 20-22 degrees during the day. But "GLOBAL" warming!!! Funny, isn't it, how the weather is so unpredictable and how things/records get broken all the time. Death Valley is sizzling weeks after "record rainiest day". https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/09/02/death-valley-heatwave-rain-record/ Sounds like a great place to talk about temperatures, but, of course, the sheep don't think about that. Why so Hot? The depth and shape of Death Valley influence its summer temperatures. The valley is a long, narrow basin 282 feet (86 m) below sea level, yet is walled by high, steep mountain ranges. The clear, dry air and sparse plant cover allow sunlight to heat the desert surface.Feb 5, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were standing in the water with big sweatshirts and coats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awoke this morning to 10 degrees C and it is currently sitting at 16, or 60 degrees F. Called for rain the last couple days and the rest of the week and now they are saying no rain at all?? Hard to imagine these "climatologists" can't predict a few days in advance but can tell us what the weather is going to be like in a year or 10. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I was in Badwater Basin in 134 degrees at 6 pm, the last time I was out there. That was the week before Labor Day, 2018. That area may be hot as shit but it’s such cool landscape to see, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather people do it too. "Cold" to me is below -20 ish C, maybe closer to -30 Hot is anything over +20 C. 127F is just pack up and move stupid hot, To each his own.

Cold in the summer is a lot different than cold in the winter. +20 in the summer is not "hot" for summer weather. +20 in the winter would be.

True, but I loth summer and people whine like little bitches at anything -10 or lower. Summer can fuck right off along with the heat, bugs and tourists. I'm really still hoping for the whole 80's global cooling to make a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last weekend we were up on the east arm of Traverse Bay. It was nice. Saturday here at home this weekend sucked balls and so did most of the past few weeks. Still too hot and humid for me. Today it’s just cloudy, damp and 70. Detailing the work car and my pickup, in the garage, is a sweat fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to tell the woman I didn't piss my pants when I walked in a few days ago ...shorts soaked from sweating lol. But been upper 70s & mid 50s at night for a long stretch. Pretty darn nice imo. But I like upper 50s just as good too tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
