The official temperature at Death Valley was 128F yesterday.
The National Weather Service’s mercury thermometer had indicated 128 degrees at 4 p.m. Sunday, matching the record for the hottest June day anywhere in the U.S.
More than 200 yards away, the National Park Service thermometer showed 129.9 degrees.
Death Valley broils on after breaking June temperature record – latimes.com
In 1913 they had five days in row hotter than this year’s hottest day, including 134F on July 10
It happened on the last day of June, which is practically July, but they’re going to push it. It’s what they do, redefine records and all.
After all the hoopla they needed some record to break, right? At least a tie.
But … July 10th is in July, whereas June temperature records are set in June. Still nonsense, but not as bad as you make it out to be, Steve.
Monthly records…. next daily records…
They’re hurting for good AGW scare stories and data, and certainly not like these:

Phoenix missed record high by 3 degrees. Missed record high low temperature by 5 degrees. Death Valley missed their record high by 6 degrees.

More politics in weather
The result of clinging to an incompetent and failed science.
On what days is the death valley not hotter than most other places in the US? And why is there a nearly 2 F temperature difference only 200 yards away?
Keep in mind, the US Weather Service relocated the thermometer at Death Valley after the original temperature record was set. They did this in order to add additional degrees to the temperature record. They moved the thermometer to a location that would magnify the temperature/heat in order to add to the high temperature record. At the time, Libya had the record and the US Weather Service wanted it to be owned by Death Valley.
Evidence?
SMS is right. I recall reading an article about that a few years back.
E.M. Smith commented on the thermometer location change in 2009. I’m certain now my recollection is correct.

“But then we must surely delete Death Valley (where they just moved a thermometer into a hotter place where they are much more likely to set a new record) since “below sea level” must SURELY be “atypical elevation”. No? Why not?”

“This just in on how Global Warming is changing our planet! Today in (Insert Name Here) they set a new record high temperature reading for a parking lot in a town with six vowels in its name on a Thursday in the second half of a month that does not end in ‘R’! Gosh, I bet you could fry an egg on that pavement!”
