Death Valley, the driest place in North America, has sprung to life with lakes and flowers after Hurricane Hilary

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:46:56 GMT

By Mary Gilbert | CNN MeteorologistCalifornia’s Death Valley is the hottest place in the world and the driest place in North America. But two months after Hurricane Hilary’s epic rainfall, parts of the national park look more oasis than desert.Parched ground turned to ponds, wildflowers are in bloom in remote areas and a salt flat is now a massive lake. The salt flat-turned-lake is an exceptional but fleeting sight to behold.“It is definitely a rare and special event,” Death Valley park spokesperson Abby Wines told CNN, only happening roughly once a decade.It’s all because Hilary unloaded a year’s worth of rain, 2.2 inches, on Death Valley in just 24 hours on August 20 – the wettest day in the park’s history. Until then, the park had never recorded more than 2 inches of rainfall in a single day, according to records that date to 1911.A visitor walks in the sprawling temporary lake at Badwater Basin salt flats in Death Valley National Park on October 21, 2023.

The team is in next-to-last place in the Dutch league on the back of four straight losses and has yet to win in the Europa League, either, heading into a match at Brighton.
