54 C for everyone using normal units
327K for the annoying pedants
Annoying pedant here… 54C is actually 327.15K
That’s extremely cold. Also, Kelvin is spelled with a K.
13 people so far are extremely insecure about their choice of temperature units.
587°R for everyone who is a Scottish engineer.
Can you please describe it as a quantity mass compressing air in a 1" cylinder for 10 seconds at STP?

You better have forgotten another quotation somewhere, because if that stands for the heretical inch unit then I’m about to shove my 30cm up your ass.
Oh Right, right . My 1 “cylinders” . Now if you’ll excuse me, I got some sleep to measure in foot step cubed boxels per metric second squared.
Thermometer from my deployment to Iraq in 2008. Pretty sure that day we were over 130F. I have to do some more digging but I believe I have a photo of one over 140F.
Anything metal becomes burn your skin hot in just a few minutes. Exposed skin is very uncomfortable almost immediately.
Can confirm hair dryer weather at those temps.
That’s insane. I was in Arizona last month in 110° heat, and going outside felt like stepping into an oven. I can’t imagine what 130° must feel like.
I’ve worked in 120° heat and it’s not fun. Especially when you go back in the truck and it’s 140° and the “cooling fan” just turns the truck to a convection oven.
I once flew out of Phoenix and they delayed the flight because it was 117°F. They said it was too hot for the plane to take off.
Air’s too thin, can’t get enough lift.
Yeah when it finally was ready for takeoff I was like… Are you sure? Nervous as hell haha
The end is coming very quickly now.
Earth is ready to get rid of us.
I feel like Death Valley always hits 127 degrees.
The previous high shattered by 5 degrees Fahrenheit, with the mercury climbing to 127 F. The old mark of 122 F was last tied in 2013.
A new record for July 5th. Death Valley hits 127 every year on different days. Not really noteworthy.
It even mentions 130 recorded in 2021. Like what peice of crap AI wrote this junk.
It’s a record for that day of the year. Local weather casters have been using this for years too: News at 11, record heat coming!
It’s noteworthy, but the title could be clearer about a daily record vs overall.
I hope the pupfish are okay
They’ll be fine as long as nobody pees on them again
Yeah, but it’s a dry heat.
I don’t think people take dry heat seriously. Humid heat is obviously dangerous because you can’t sweat the heat out of your body as efficiently, but dry heat at these temperatures feels like walking outside and holding a hair dryer to your skin. It’s so fucking hot. You can feel the sun touching your skin like its physically reaching out. You sunburn from 5–15 minutes in the sun without sunblock. And it doesn’t cool off either, not really. Temperatures stay in the high 80s and low-to-mid 90s all night. “But it’s a dry heat” is really dismissive of how dangerous an unwavering 90–120° is, in this case for weeks on end.
I’d like to see how a dry heat compares because I’ve always heard it was better. This past week where I’m at in the states has been terrible, triple digit heat (I think it was 102 on Wednesday) with super high humidity and ridiculous UV levels; the air is thick and like a blanket wrapped around your head the moment you walk outside. Nights have been upper 70’s-low 80’s, I know it could be worse (thank god for a pool and AC), but this is way hotter than when I grew up.
after dying in greater vancouver region one summer some decade ago, I went to nevada and pet some donkeys or something. The degrees were higher but I wasn’t dripping with sweat like in vancouver. The real rain in raincouver was my sweat all along! Actually though its so gross. People regularly ask if I’m crying and if I need to take a break. One of the jobs in the past a customer actually called a manager to ask for them to give me an extra break for working so hard in the heat. I was fine, just looked like I pissed myself, then did a handstand and pissed myself again.
Stow that shit, Hudson.
