Lots of triple-digit numbers tell the story of the early summer’s torrid heat wave

* In California 25 million people under heat advisories/warnings

* Death Valley National Park is projected to reach/pass 130 degF almost reaching world record temperature of 134 degF recorded there in 1913

* 70% of Americans will see temperatures hit 90+ degF; >55 million people will see temperatures that reach/exceed 100 degF
