AdvertisementDeath Valley has come within four degrees of the highest outdoor temperature ever recorded on Earth, as the West Coast braces for yet another record-setting heatwave. The official temperature in the California national park hit 130 degrees on Friday, breaking the daily record for June 9 and coming close to the all-time worldwide record of 134, which was set there in 1913. It also caused some areas in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia to hit as high as 115 degrees. Officials with the California Office of Emergency Services believe the Golden State is undergoing serious climate changes amidst the recent influx in temperatures, droughts and wildfires. In preparation for this weekend's record-setting temperatures, the Office of Emergency Services are offering cooling centers throughout the state, especially for those without air conditioning.
