Death Valley is a drainless depression area in the Mojave Desert in southern California. It is famous for its extreme weathers: the highest recorded temperature was 56°C (in 1920), and the average air humidity is 1%. The ubiquitous concrete and rising average global temperatures are a hellish combination that has turned drought into a global problem. In 2021 heat wave matched the record-breaking temperature from 100 years ago.
