January 05 2013 at 2:17 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replya few years back, i drove through death valley on a motorcycle during the day. it got up to around 120 degrees but felt more like 10,000 degrees when i was going 60mph. i just had to see if i could get from one side of the valley to the next. i did and i lived to tell about it - right here and now.

The tow truck brought me back into California, to a little town called Blythe. At 11 p.m. the temperature was 110! On Sunday afternoon, the temperature hit 123. On the second night, I decided to try to cool off in the motel pool. At 11:30 the water in the pool was a cool 108. It felt like being in a hot tub, but without the bubbles.

That was the hottest I have ever been.

But I believe the highest under the porch temp I can recall was 120-125f... I can't say that that was purely accurate, but it's that sort of heat you folks from El Centro know about, that when you step outside it's like a punch in the Sternum...At that point say 115 or so It don't matter anymore it's mind numbingly hot!
