Sweltering heat is baking areas of the western and southwestern United States this weekend.

The planet’s record-high temperature—134 degrees Fahrenheit recorded in Death Valley in California a century ago—is close to being met this weekend as the area is forecast to reach 129 degrees.

The National Weather Service reports on Saturday:

National Weather Service specialist Stuart Seto said warned that the current heatwave was “a huge one.”

 “We haven’t seen one like this for several years, probably the mid- to late 2000s,” said Seto.

“It’s going to be baking hot across much of the entire West,” adds National Weather Service meteorologist Mark O’Malley.
