From The AP
A long-running heat wave that has already shattered previous records across the U.S. persisted on Sunday, baking parts of the West with dangerous temperatures that caused the death of a motorcyclist in Death Valley.
People from all across the world visited the National Park to experience the heat for themselves.
Andrea Karunanayake, visiting from Riverside, CA, was warned not to come but couldn't resist the allure of the record-breaking heat.
"You can definitely feel the heat on your skin. And I can see how it's probably the hottest, highest heat record out here," she said.
“Honestly, it's definitely shocking. I don't know how anything can survive out here."

I grew up in Baker, CA, the "Gateway to Death Valley". It doesn't get as hot there as it does in Death Valley, but that "dry heat" sucks all the moisture out of you. I would drink two to three gallons of water every day and still not have to pee that much. One other thing that has to be taken into account is your electrolyte levels. Along with drinking gallons of water, we would routinely take a salt tablet to make sure we were getting salt back into our system after sweating it all out. Some of the interesting/funny things that would happen would be that when a person would stop for gas in the town, they would get out of their car and pass out immediately. This was typically due to the person running the AC at max and the temp in the car being in the 60s only to step out into 95+ degree temps. It can shock the body rather quickly.

@JohnSmith-bh8um Ай бұрын

My brand new Honda broke down just outside of baker two years ago. For some reason the fans quit running by way of ecu. With a tow truck being 7 hours out I cut up an extension cord in the truck and straight wires the fans to the battery. But as I was doing this for people growing up in this area. I couldn't imagine. I don't live far. Central valley of California the highest today we're about 112. So it's still very hot, but manageable

I was constantly having people pull into my place who were lost, out of water, flat tires, etc. I was always wondering why people would just drive off into the desert without knowing where they were or where they were going. My guest books are filled with folks who expressed their gratitude for the help I gave them. There were dozens of people whose lives I saved over the 10 years I lived out there. I stayed in touch with most of them through letters, and many of them would return in the following years. From Japan, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Romania, etc. I developed many good friendships throughout the years..

@@jonosay854 Serious answer: if you're wealthy and clever a geothermal heat pump can shift that heat into the ground using pumped fluid in long loops of tubing; if you're only clever than in dry climate an evaporative cooler ("swamp cooler") can be very economical when you have access to water, as you only need to power a pump and intake/exhaust fans for the entry and exit of the space you want to cool, and it can be built from hardware store parts quite easily. They work better the hotter and drier it is. Also there have been steady advancements in Heat Pump (which is sort of like an aircon unit that runs in both directions) economies of scale, which is important as the temperature swings wildly - we're talking about a dry climate that can see 100°F temperature swings from day to night, from safe to serve hot soup down to frosty cold - where an evaporative cooler doesn't help you stay warm at night so there's still a need for some kind of heating.

Dry heat is deceptive. You can't tell how quickly you're getting dehydrated because your sweat evaporates almost instantaneously. To me that's a more dangerous heat.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Ай бұрын

If you decide to go to DV, carry enough water to keep your whole party alive for three days, extra for your radiator, and some sort of large shade structure like a tent or canopy, and night clothing and bedding for if your car breaks down. You could die there in less than a day or night without them. Stay on the main roads in conditions like these, no off-road adventures in this kind of heat! There is no cell service in the valley, the concessionaire who runs the tourist accommodations is too cheap to pay for it, so it could be a while before anyone sees you’re in trouble, or realizes you’re missing. Whenever leaving the paved highways, notify the Park Service with your destination, route and return date/time, even in winter, when flash floods occur often. These can occur when the weather seems ok in the valley and they kill, too, especially in those slot canyons. It’s a huge and dangerous place, bigger than some US states with extreme weather conditions, it’s no place for the thoughtless or unprepared. Don’t take elderly family members, infants, toddlers or pets there in summer, there are plenty of rattlesnakes and scorpions, too.

An incredible place of near perfect desolation. The first sign of heat stroke is a stomach ache. Tourists here in Tucson think they have the flu or have eaten something bad. All they need is water - but slowly. I love the heat. It warms the bones.

I lived in California for many years and I wouldn't visit Death Valley in the summer, a car breakdown is downright dangerous. If you do have to drive through Death Valley in the summer you should bring alot of extra water and an umbrella, you will be miserable but if you drink alot and stay in the shade you will probably survive until help arrives. Even though the temperatures are extreme its a dry heat and you should in theory be able to sweat enough to not get heatstroke for a while provided you drink enough water to make up for a lot of sweating. Driving through Death valley in the summer without extra water is like driving through a blizzard with a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and sandals its worthy of a Darwin award.

@@Criner05 in Death Valley where the temperature can reach 127 degrees a person is in intense sunlight and the less skin exposed to direct sunlight the better. There are many long sleeve shirts and pants that are sun resistant and if they are unlucky and get lost and are in that desert at night when the temperatures get below 37 degrees they'll be happy. Have you ever seen videos of people who live in desert climes wearing short sleeves and shorts ? Not many.

Just to understand how hot that it is. You dry meat to make beef jerky at 150 degrees for 8 hours. You are basically slow roasting yourself within a short period of time.

@kurtb8474 Ай бұрын

112 - 115 near Sacramento the last few days. Probably even hotter to the north around Redding. Sometimes Redding, which is in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta, can be even hotter than Death Valley. I think what makes DV so dangerous is it can literally sap the moisture right out of you.

What percentage of deaths attributed to "heat" are actually caused by dehydration. Say a person is constantly fed water intravenously while being exposed to very high heat -- around what temperature would "heat" actually become a danger?
