An excessive heat warning — the National Weather Service’s highest alert — was in effect for about 36 million people on Sunday.

A high temperature of 128 F was recorded Sunday at Death Valley National Park in eastern California, where a visitor died from heat exposure and another person was hospitalized, officials said. “Death Valley during the summer has always been a bucket list thing for me. For most of my life, I’ve wanted to come out here in summertime,” said Kinsel, who was visiting Death Valley’s Badwater Basin area from Las Vegas.
Jill Workman Anderson also was at Mount Charleston, taking her dog for a short hike and enjoying the view. “How hot are we talking? Well, high temperatures across won’t get below 100 degrees until next weekend,” the service posted online. “And unfortunately, there won’t be much relief overnight either.”
