Motorcyclist dies from heat exposure as temperature reaches 128 in Death Valley - www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/tourists-flock-to-death-valley-amid-searing-us-heat-wave/507-488a1150-ccd5-4f2f-ab39-1ba53444daf9
Y’all, Death Valley in January is beautiful and the weather is very nice during the day. No need to struggle in hot weather to view the sites. My husband and I camped there December-January and it was one of our most memorable trips!
OMG. I camped at Death Valley over a decade ago, that visitor center sign read 120, ate a good breakfast, drank loads of water and Gatorade, toured the sites and that salt flat, and had to turn back when exiting the park to go get sick in the ranger station located in that visitor center/gift shop. It was just so hot. Kind ranger told me you can sometimes drink so much water you flush electrolytes out of your system, I don’t know but I couldn’t stave off the heat sickness. Sounds like Jan is the month to go :)
Since moving to the south Mississippi gulf coast, I've learned a lot about humidity and dew points. I also became a lover of Liquid IV. If you are going out in the heat, I HIGHTLY recommend drinking some before, during and after you go.
I was in Las Vegas somehow on three different record heat days and it's a short drive to Death Valley and Furnace Creek... It feels like the rush of air when you stick a pizza in a very hot oven. Except, it's on your entire body and you can't move around to escape it. The wind is hotter than the stagnant air somehow. The moisture from your eyes, nose, and mouth starts to dry up immediately and if you're not carrying water it's all you can think about.
Thats a good way of putting it. People talk about heat. I got real educated in the heat/humidity and the most important factor no one talks about is DEW POINT. When I see our airtime, I add 10-15 deg for the FEEL LIKE, I don't recall though dew point being an issue in Death Valley. My god, if it was, people would be dropping like flys in a Raid factory.
@@lionelhowell4972It has some of the darkest nights in the world. Many go for stargazing or astrophotography. You can even see the nearest galaxy with your naked eye there. Not everyone goes there to be baked by the sun.
Are you trying to make a comment on "climate change" or a comment on "these youngin's are weak"? Because ~60 years ago the temp high was 123 July 24th, 1964. Or are you just relating in misery?
Phoenix is *hotter, when the sun sets in Death Valley the temps drop....when the sun sets in Phoenix the concrete, asphalt, cars sheet metal, plaster homes are over 180F and the temps are unbearable at 1 a.m., 5 a.m., 7 a.m., known as heat island. Dirt (the desert) doesn't can't hold heat in Death Valley, yet bricks, 4000lb chunks of metal (known as cars), and roads contain huge thermo loads so Phoenix doesn't cool at night. *Phoenix is hotter over all, Death Valley hits a higher high, but only by a tiny bit, yet cools....Phoenix's heat doesn't chill out as the concrete is 120F+ at midnight and you can't even walk bare foot to get the mail at night as every square inch is radiating heat like a hot potato outta the oven.
We halfway between Baghdad and Basra. Same temperatures here and half the day we work outside wearing body armor. Basra slightly warmer and it has that humidity that slaps you hard in the face and squeezes your lungs.
@@Stevenn2186 When I was in Iraq doing route-clearance I'd drink water first,then Powerade for those electrolytes,then more water,then powerade.Powerade was very good to use,because it gives you that boost of energy immediately,we had bottled water and powerade packages in large bends everywhere on our FOB,you could take as many as you wanted/needed.
They call it Death Valley for a reason. Frankly its crazy to put yourself in that area. It feels like the empty quarter in the middle east or honestly the entire middle east! That kind of temperature is bad for not only your physical health but your mental health as well. Tremendously hard on vehicles but good luck with that.
I live 4 hours away and have been there many times in all seasons. It's a beautiful, special and unique place. Only place I've been where humidity levels were in the negative range.
I literally drove through the tonopah area, yesterday. I did not see a single person working outside. Sure all the ADOT and NDOT employees haven't been working as i haven't seen any
I was there when the thermometer hit 131 yesterday. Everyone was crowded around it I could barely take a picture but was able to take one where you can slightly see it. Super hot
131° F sounds crazy! I’m from Sweden and the hottest temp I’ve ever seen here is 33° C/91° F. I’m going to death valley this summer. Idk how it’s gonna be other than being super hot.
0:35 That's Badwater, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Halfway up the mountain to the left is a painted line that says ''Sea Level''. On top of that mountain is Dante's View, a parking lot with trails leading to areas to look down at Badwater. We rode our motorcycles to Death Valley every June for years. One time I took my 12 year old son on the ride and used my old 1985 Honda Goldwing, comfortable for 2 on our 300 mile ride. Knowing we should never go there without ample water, I put a 3 gallon plastic water container in the upper trunk compartment with a big bag of ice in there to keep it cool. I plumbed plastic tubing to a brass garden faucet located low on the right saddle bag. My son the jokester made up a sticker by the faucet saying ''Salad Bar Drain''. We parked up at Dante's View in the late morning and it was hot, maybe 112F. Many of the tourists there were from Germany. One man took an interest in my motorcycle and struggled to translate the sign by the garden faucet. My hambone son took out a stack of the little 2 ounce paper cups, filled one, and drank down ice cold water. Pretty soon we were serving maybe 8 German tourists ice cold water out of the Salad Bar Drain. It was a hoot. I finally had to open the compartment and show the motorcycle enthusiast my water tank. He was amused. Anybody going to Death Valley in the Summer needs to carry plenty of water in case of a vehicle breakdown.
Try Jesus He is really the only one who can give you real positive energy and eternal life and He really does hear all our prayers when praying in True belief and faith Blessing to you in the name of Christ
I remember being on a flightline in Iraq, and the thermometer said 138 degrees. But metal shipping containers and asphalt everywhere was probably adding to it.
I remember stopping to eat a sandwich out of our cooler in death valley and the bread turned to toast before I could finish it. It was so incredibly dry that you didnt even feel yourself sweat. The moisture was wicked away before it could collect on your skin.
118 F and you’re wearing a sweater? That’s crazy! I understand long sleeve to protect from sun rays since I worked in construction but there’s fishing gear it’s great to block out the sun! just FYI.
Been there done that. My mother in law used to live in Tecopa. There is an actual Oasis at the Date Farm. You drop way down into it. Look it up. Check it out. Well worth the visit because they have treats there.
We used to go out there for training in the military and I can remember being out there and it being 138 °Fahrenheit and we were in mop for gear that's chemical protective suit with rubber gloves rubber boots and a gas mask with a hood on it for up to 4 hours at a time
Same. I had to wear full mopp gear in Death Valley in the summer. After one particular mass casualty triage I took my mask off and poured probably a full cup of sweat out (no exaggeration). Boiling alive in your own juices while simultaneously applying your assessment skills to a humvee rollover full of soldiers is not for the feint of heart.
During Desert Storm if an open ended wrench was left out and someone picked it up they isntanly would get a 1/2" imprint in the palm of thier hand. Commander has to order leather gloves be worn for everything!!!
Going from an air conditioned automobile or building to 132° F is dangerous in itself. Acclimating to the heat and being out in it is much better for your body. People lived there before A/C was a thing.
To be fair, most car A/C systems will cool a car down 20-30 degrees. So you're going from 100 or 110 in the car to 130 outside. Still a lot, but not like going from 85 to 130. I remember the hottest weather I was in was 116 in Redding Ca. Stepped from that into an air conditioned house, with the AC unit blowing cooled air down just past the front door. I stepped inside, closed the door, felt the cold air, and I started shaking. Not because I was cold, but that temperature change was too much too fast... That (having the A/C blow cold air right near the door) was a terrible design! :-)
If you have a decent car with good working air conditioning you can lower the temperature much lower than 85 in your vehicle even when 120 out. You can bet 99% of those people have their air conditioning set in the '70s. False sense of security until they get out and get hit by a blast furnace. I would not want my vehicle AC to fail in death valley in the summertime. Lol
Growing up in the desert, it was common knowledge to make sure you had the water, food and proper clothing with you,in order to be protected as best as possible against the elements!! The reason for people dieing, or getting heat stroke, is because too many of you who stay in the air conditioning all the time , have no idea what you are doing!! Everyone in this video that is wearing ; shorts and , tee shirts, are absolutely ignorant to the reality of what they are doing!! Ever notice that even in the "" cowboy movies "" , they wear , geans , boots , and button up long sleeve shirts ?? It is to protect them from the blistering sun , and dry heat !!! It also collects the sweat from your body, in order to help cool you off , with the dampness you're sweat causes by soaking into the cloth !! Y'all think because you're so smart you will be cooler with your bare skin being exposed !! This is the biggest mistake you make in the desert, especially in death valley !! Y'all are just too ignorant to ask someone with experience, how you should dress !!! You don't and wouldn't go to the arctic or antarctic dressed in a bacini any time of the year !! So remember;: WATER , FOOD , AND CLOTHING THAT COVERS THE MAJORITY OF THE SKIN , INCLUDING A HAT TO PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE FACE , HEAD , AND SHOULDERS, ARE THE THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED, IN ORDER TO VISIT DEATH VALLEY OR ANY PART OF THE OPEN DESERT!! Also take a decent jacket or at least a sweater or sweatshirt , cause after sunset it can get rather chilly out there, even in the hottest days of summer !! Good luck and try being a bit more intelligent about it !!!
That's where the military train. I was there in Aug trainging in the desert, brutal. Went back in Nov and will never forget how cold it was. Try sleeping out there for two weeks.
I have never been tempted to visit a place called "Death Valley." It's like not wanting to visit "The Lair of Infinite Agony" or "The Gorge of Eternal Peril" or "The Swamp of Despair."
Videos don’t do it justice at Fire Creek. I was there when it was 123 degrees and the heat turned mine and everyone else’s phones off in under 2 minutes. Phones overheated! And I live in Fresno California where it averages 109 degrees here in the summer and often 114 degrees. Yet, the Death Valley heat was so intense even I couldn’t stay out very long! Safe travels everyone!
I grew up in Phoenix Arizona All through the '80s and '90s. It was hot. All the time. It would be 100° at night when the sun was down. Hot. Even back then as children we all knew that death valley was even worse. There's a reason for its name. There is no place in this country hotter than death valley. So why is everyone always so surprised at how hot death valley is. The day with my family moved up to Oregon, the temperature was 115° in Phoenix. I come up to 101° in Oregon. Not going to lie, Oregon felt hotter. I learned real quick that humidity sucks. I just don't understand why I keep getting death valley news crossing my news feed. The valley is called death valley because it's hot. I guarantee and will bet money that death valley, 9 out of 10 times, is hotter than wherever you were living in this country. Not sure how this is news. Another news, fall and winter is sweater weather. I guess I shouldn't make a joke, as soon as the temperature drops to the point that we need sweaters, that will be all over the news too
@@odisy64 I take the dry over the feeling of hot wet blanket wrapped around you and breathing the musilage...Also lived in -67/ -87 wind chill so dry couldnt make a snow ball preferred it over 20 above and wet like Anchorage
Personally I have experienced 120 in SoCal and summer heat in Louisiana Yes both are oppressive but personally Louisiana is more horrendous.. saturation of clothes that never can dry until u go in the A/c
Because he’s not really there, it’s fake news. They make up news stories showing the hottest places in the US and say…look, global warming. It’s so pathetic.
@@michaelleitner1245 not with fleece though! There are a lot of other fabrics out there that are lightweight, breathable, and still provide protection from the sun and heat.
My biggest question was "why are you dressed like it''s 60 degrees"? You can't tell from the video but I bet he's wearing a pair of jeans too. Grab a sheet to wrap around the equipment to prevent burns and wear a t-shirt and shorts for crying out loud!
Just for the record Phoenix and Death Valley are basically the same by about 6 to 10 degrees. I’m not even kidding go ahead and do a google search under both cities right now.
There are first responders in my family and for their sake, I’m angry at these people. It’s not just their lives they risk with such stupid behavior, but the park rangers and paramedics who are obligated to save them.
“Let’s experience this level of heat.” Says the guys wearing a hooded, long sleeved hoodie in the middle of Death Valley summer heat. Then says he’s “immediately sweating.” Well no 💩. 😂

Yes! January is the best time to avoid the holiday traffic in December.
What's the point on visiting the hottest place on Earth if you don't go when it's hot?
How cool is it in January? Get real cold at night?
@@Fidel-jodio-Cubawhy would you wanna go somewhere just to feel what 132 degrees feels like unless you’re a complete nincompoop? Lol
Big whoop
That’s why it’s named Death Valley 😊

I live here lol. Right now it's brutal. But I rather have this than 10⁰ or less cold.
Yup! The dry eyes are no joke! It stings!
So it's a cremation. That's how you feel as you get inside that oven. You should try that.

Would never go to a place called death valley
🗣️💯
Just open your oven after baking pizza to experience feeling that, no need to travel there. To me that's RIDICULOUS!!

Looks like a good place to go hiking without a map right before dark.
When I first visited Death Valley, 61 years ago, it was in summer and our car had no AC.
Wow
Climate Change is real.
Ouch!

Yes, Phoenix is the hottest place I’ve been in my life, it’s hotter than Dubai to me. Dubai cools off a little, Phoenix seems to get hotter.
Sounds lovely.
Absolutely nothing to brag about. That's why baby boomers live there and your real estate values just don't rise as much.
No humidity though
Dry heat isn't as bad as humid heat
We halfway between Baghdad and Basra. Same temperatures here and half the day we work outside wearing body armor. Basra slightly warmer and it has that humidity that slaps you hard in the face and squeezes your lungs.
There’s no humidity in death valley
Do you constantly drink water with electrolytes? What is your general advice to survive a work day in such extreme heat?
When I was in Iraq on my first deployment the temp was 140 degrees ( I was at Camp TQ ) easily the hottest temp I was ever exposed to.

I typically visit Death Valley during the winter. It seems to rain every time I go there. My memories of Death Valley are weirdly skewed lol.
I was stationed in 29 palms in 96 and we had blackouts every saturday morning until sunday evening. It was 130 then too.

Nothing special compared to Phoenix, it was 115 degrees at 8pm last night here and we've been starting the day at 90-92
Yup, and we're expecting 116 tomorrow. Overnight lows in the 90's. And we still have 3 months of summer left.
118 and the dude is in a hoodie. I would die on the spot.

It’s been as high as 125 degrees in Quartzsite, Arizona recently. It’s deadly

not even plants grow there, best chance is finding some rodents or bugs.

So why is everyone always so surprised at how hot death valley is. The day with my family moved up to Oregon, the temperature was 115° in Phoenix. I come up to 101° in Oregon. Not going to lie, Oregon felt hotter. I learned real quick that humidity sucks. I just don't understand why I keep getting death valley news crossing my news feed. The valley is called death valley because it's hot. I guarantee and will bet money that death valley, 9 out of 10 times, is hotter than wherever you were living in this country. Not sure how this is news. Another news, fall and winter is sweater weather. I guess I shouldn't make a joke, as soon as the temperature drops to the point that we need sweaters, that will be all over the news too
If you point your camera to the horizon long enough in Death Valley, you'll notice Omar Sharif riding his camel towards you.
Heat is childs play without humidity
Try 127 90% humidity, Qatar
death valley will dry you like a raisin.
@@odisy64 I take the dry over the feeling of hot wet blanket wrapped around you and breathing the musilage...Also lived in -67/ -87 wind chill so dry couldnt make a snow ball preferred it over 20 above and wet like Anchorage
55 degrees! 🍧☃️❄️🌨️
Personally I have experienced 120 in SoCal and summer heat in Louisiana
Yes both are oppressive but personally Louisiana is more horrendous.. saturation of clothes that never can dry until u go in the A/c
Thanks for the warning!!! 🥵
That is dry heat. I dare you to mix some Mississippi River Valley summer humidity in with those temperatures.
Going from Vegas to San Diego through the desert is surreal.
Death Valley😳🥵, Bad Water! 🤯Why?!!!! I will continue to keep it coastal. 🌊🌊🌊
You need to be in an asylum wearing a sweater in that heat
why is this guy wearing a jacket then?
Same reason why people wear robes in the middle east , it's to protect his skin.
Was wondering the same thing! He's wearing a FLEECE SWEATER!?
The same reason that you see the desert nomads all covered up.
Because he’s not really there, it’s fake news. They make up news stories showing the hottest places in the US and say…look, global warming. It’s so pathetic.
@@michaelleitner1245 not with fleece though! There are a lot of other fabrics out there that are lightweight, breathable, and still provide protection from the sun and heat.
When you have nothing else to do in life, visit death valley
Death Valley Germans incident ☠️
You will be in trouble when your car brakes down
Yes, true I was so neurotic that I checked my car every gas station along the way fearful of overheating
Breaks down not brakes down
I was in Las Vegas when it was 119f. It was so dry, that it didn’t feel that hot. That was 2013. Just wear a hat, and drink a lot of water.
wheres your HAT?
My biggest question was "why are you dressed like it''s 60 degrees"? You can't tell from the video but I bet he's wearing a pair of jeans too. Grab a sheet to wrap around the equipment to prevent burns and wear a t-shirt and shorts for crying out loud!
@@Alexschern OK, THANKS FOR THE INFO! 👏👏👏🤣
@@TenaciousSLG
BUDDY!!
@@Unknown-ki8yk No, actually, I have never wondered that.
I'd like to know how the heat affects your vehicle when it gets that hot. I'm sure your car doesn't like it.
Lady in the thumbnail wearing a black shirt. Real smart
Go in the Spring. This year it was a carpet of flowers. Only Europeans go there in the summer.
Just for the record Phoenix and Death Valley are basically the same by about 6 to 10 degrees. I’m not even kidding go ahead and do a google search under both cities right now.
Iraq was the only place that beat this place
In other news, "Summer Hot!"
But, I think there is probably a road that goes around it. What is the appeal? Of course people ask the same about where I live when it's -30.
That temperature requires an AC to keep the AC running cool.
Its probably really hot.
I figured Furnace Creek would have a nice lake, with trees, green grass and lots of shade. LOL!
You think
During Summer, please use sunscreen, wear goggles and use ice to cool yourself at home
Army trains there remember that. FT Erwin, CA
Girls be like;"wow I don't have to use tan lotion I can have natural tan"😂😂😂😂
No way!? It's hot in the desert?!
Whatever.
I've worked jobs where it never went below 135° F all shift and without any PPE - just with a lot of Gatorade and water.
Who the hell wants to be in such heat
Yeah I will pass
There are first responders in my family and for their sake, I’m angry at these people. It’s not just their lives they risk with such stupid behavior, but the park rangers and paramedics who are obligated to save them.
Going to Death Valley in the summer? You have a death wish?
“Let’s experience this level of heat.” Says the guys wearing a hooded, long sleeved hoodie in the middle of Death Valley summer heat. Then says he’s “immediately sweating.” Well no 💩. 😂
David goggins ran through that - beast
What did the heat do to this guys palm. Is that growth ?
