Your comment is 5 parents deep and not one mentions wet bulb until you just now. The wet bulb temp of Death Valley is in the 70s or 80s. Hardly unsurvivable wet bulb temperatures.
Death Valley is also a bit of an outlier in it's dryness. Of course, that's what also makes it a desert.
It wouldn't take much humidity to turn those temperatures into wet-bulb of 100+ - fatal to humans. Expanding the area of this level of heat a couple of hundred miles in any direction would probably be enough.
