Either way, the heatwaves are starting to hit everyone across the country but no place worse than at Death Valley National Park, where the temperatures are expected to reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit between July 8-9. If it does, it will set the record for the hottest temperature ever "reliably measured on Earth" according to Scientific American.

Known as the hottest place on Earth, Death Valley currently holds the record thanks to its desert climate and has previously experienced temperatures of 130 degrees Fahrenheit back in August 2020 and again in July 2021.
