California's Death Valley has reached new high temperatures - which are the hottest on Earth.
On Sunday afternoon, it reached 54.4 Celsius (130F) at the world-renowned national park.
Already famous for its heat, there are warnings for people not to go walking after 10am.
But temperatures hit a new all-time high at 3.41pm, when the reading was taken at the Furnace Creek weather station, reports The Mirror.
If verified, it would be the hottest recorded weather there since July 10, 1913, when temperatures are said to have reached 56.6C (134F) degrees.
However, that figure has long been disputed by meteorological experts who claim the reading was inaccurate.
The National Weather Service says it would be the hottest August temperature at the site by 3F.
Many believe that the actual record-breaking temperatures of 129F were previously reached in the national park on June 30th, 2013, and also in Kuwait and Pakistan in 2016 and 2017.
Death Valley National Park sees almost no rainfall and is considered the hottest and driest location in the country.
The record-breaking temperature comes as a blistering heatwave hit the west coast of the US with a hot weather alert issued for nearly 80 million residents.
