“It’s so hot I’m melting.” We’ve all heard it said during one hot summer or another. But when you live in Arizona, this phrase becomes more reality than hyperbole. Residents have been posting pictures from the recent heatwave of everything from street signs to trashcans starting to melt in the heat.

Summer temperatures in Arizona have been known to reach up to 128 degrees, but the first place prize goes to Death Valley, California where, in July of 1913, temperatures reached 134 degrees.
