No, really - go read it. It's worth it, I promise.
Really? Really?? 158 degrees? Come on. The hottest temperature EVER RECORDED ON EARTH was 70.7C in the Lut Desert in Iran in 2004. Honestly. Even the weather guys over here are sensationalist. :) Just goes to show that astronomers shouldn't pretend like they understand meteorology!
PS If it does get that hot by any chance, I will let you know!
Can't wait to catch up with you while you are in the States. Wishing you safe and easy travels!
