127 degrees: Heat record shattered in Death Valley, with high temperature of 130 in forecast

Thermometer from my deployment to Iraq in 2008. Pretty sure that day we were over 130F. I have to do some more digging but I believe I have a photo of one over 140F.

Anything metal becomes burn your skin hot in just a few minutes. Exposed skin is very uncomfortable almost immediately.

Can confirm hair dryer weather at those temps.
