I grew up in the desert region of Southern California. One summer it was damn near 120 every single day in July. It basically just felt like walking out into a microwave.

No?

Even as the already extreme temperatures are forecast to climb even higher, potentially topping records amid a major U.S. heat wave, tourists are arriving at this infamous desert landscape on the California-Nevada border.

Doesn't say anything about higher than normal amounts of people, even for this time of year. It's at best misrepresenting the truth.

Yes btw, anyone that intentionally goes there in the summer is a moron, especially if they're all as clueless as the people quoted.

There should be an explicit warning that no adult tourists will be saved.

If you willingly go to Death Valley during a heatwave no one should be expected to risk themselves not even park rangers or other government services.

I don't even like 87 degrees at 90% Humidity, why would anyone want to "experience" 130 degree heat? Like wow, it feels like your being cooked alive, shade doesn't help, and you can't drink water fast enough to replace what you're sweating out. Do people want to experience actual dizziness and severe heat stroke that badly? Hope you goons brought the Pedialyte, because you're gonna need it.

Damn that's crazy.

Earlier the BBC mentioned my city at the end of their climate segment because we've been at "38" every day for weeks on end now, as an example of how hot it is in our South (though to be fair right before that they were talking about Arizona, so it's not like they're that far away from each other).

I'm not sure what 130 is in regular temperature, but I know that high humidity makes the heat much, much worse, and more deadly even at lower temperatures

Damn near every news article is click bait nowadays. No point calling it out any more when every media outlet does it regularly.
