    The photo is Furnace Creek in Death Valley. That temperature is normal for Death Valley in the summer.

      Temperatues above 110F are forecast for agricultural areas in California this week. The central valley isn’t supposed to be as brutal as Death Valley

        I understand, it just seems counterproductive to use that photo for this piece. Honestly, 115° at that location is just another Tuesday.

          You can’t take a photo of an event in the future, so they’re pointing out how places people live are going to be like places which are already too hot
