It was toasty in Death Valley on Sunday. In fact, if verified, it could be the hottest temperature recorded in the world since 1913. The temperature at Death Valley's Furnace Creek, located in the deserts of Southern California, soared to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center.

The highest temperature ever recorded on Earth was also recorded in Death Valley, 134 degrees Fahrenheit in 1913. That recording is questionable though as many experts contend the reading.

It's supposed to be just as hot today and the National Weather Service is warning people who live in eastern California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah to limit their time outside to between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.
