On Sunday, several people flocked to a part of the National Park known as Furnace Creek, where temperatures reached 128 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beijing topped 40 degrees Celsius (104F) on Saturday for a record third day as the Chinese capital sweltered in extreme heat, while uncommonly high temperatures for June grilled an area the size of California in northern China.

A fierce California wildfire expanded early Sunday burning several thousand acres and forcing evacuations, as tens of millions of Americans sweltered through scorching heat with already record-setting temperatures due to climb even further.

New lithium-ion batteries have been developed by researchers that are capable of performing well at both cold and hot temperatures, in what could prove useful for batteries used in electric vehicles. According to the study, these new batteries could help EVs improve their mileage in cold climates while cutting down the need for cooling systems to r...

Irma Gomez has worked in California's Central Valley, one of the world's most productive agricultural regions, for nearly a decade -- but she has never experienced a year as hot as this one, so hot that a colleague collapsed and died in the fields.

More dry-lightning hit Northern California on Monday after sparking over 625 wildfires the past week but firefighters got some relief as temperatures eased off record highs.
