Death Valley roasted at 100 degrees or more for nearly 100 hours straight
Briefly

"If we say the low was 100, people think it cooled down to 100 just after sunset, so we had a nice cool evening. However, it really means it cooled down to 100 just before sunrise."
"The hottest time of the day in Death Valley is in the late afternoon, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m... temperatures begin dropping while the sun is still up, but there isn't an instant drop at sunset."
