A super bloom is a rare phenomenon. When you are fortunate to see one, you are blessed and lucky. You will never forget. This bloom, which may take place every decade or so, is the ONLY time these species reproduce. Trampling, harvesting, and polluting them during this delicate reproductive window will deprive them of creating seeds; seeds which are uniquely adapted to drought, fire, and flood and found nowhere else on Earth. Stay on the trails, do not harvest, and become a warrior for these species which are under threat from many environmental hazards and invasive species. Most all, enjoy!! and take photos for us who can not be in California this year.
' wow beautifully floody on the desert... big thank to the cloudy pour heavy thick rainy rainy on the dry desert sand / great floody... keep continue more rainy rainy again and flood soon allday - allnight - everyday - everynight... many animals / plants needs that water

120 degrees Fahrenheit? i'm sorry but i'm one of the 6.7 BILLION people on the planet who have no idea what that is. Also i'm pretty sure Dallol, Ethiopia is the hottest place on earth
+Ursh anabi In 2012 the World Meteorological Organization officially recognized Death Valley as the world's hottest place on earth with the highest temperature ever directly recorded: 134° F. Dallol, Ethiopia holds the record for having the highest average annual temperature ever recorded. From 1960 to 1966, Dallol averaged 94 degrees Fahrenheit (daytime temperatures regularly rose to over 100 degrees).
+Ursh anabi Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), after whom the scale is named.[1] It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol °F) as the unit.
You could have researched it online, thereby alleviating some of your confusion. When I forget the correlation between Fahrenheit and Celcius, that what I do. Example: convert 45C to degrees F. Easy.
I saw the 1995 superbloom, and the one in 2005. They were amazing, awe-inspiring events that changed my entire perception of Death Valley.
Absolutely amazing! Makes me contemplate & compare with life & people.
This is truly amazing, I can watch hours of this, thank you!
Gravel Ghost and Desert Monkey, what stunners!
Did someone come here from Ken Robinson’s TED talk?

Nope Death Valley is the hottest. And just a few days ago, it hit 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is 54.4 Celsius.
