But It's a Dry Heat...
"It was so hot that swallows in full flight fell to the
earth dead and when I went out to read the
thermometer with a wet Turkish towel on my head,
it was dry before I returned."
Oscar Denton, caretaker of what is now the
Furnace Creek Ranch on the record hot day of
134o F (56o C) in July 1913
