Death Valley had the hottest average monthly temperature for any recording station in the world, 108.1 degrees F.
If you found yourself thinking it was scorching hot in recent weeks, well, you were right.
For the three-month period of May to July, the entire contiguous United States (CONUS) “ranked hottest on record,” as the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, California tweeted out Wednesday, adding that “records go back to 1895.”
That map comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report, “Assessing the U.S. Climate in July 2018,” released last week.
