Death Valley is a valley locate in the Mojave Desert, a very dry area. Death Valley has extremely hot summers with an average high temperature of 46,9 °C in July, the hottest month of the year. That extreme heat is due to the very low elevation, below the sea level which makes more column of air and more air pressure. A higher air pressure makes the air sinking more, and therefore more heating and drying by an adiabatic process. Also, Death Valley is situated between 2 mountains ranges, which adds a rain shadow effect.

∙ 9y agoThe hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent ground temperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer can attest to that.
