The hottest air temperature ever reliably
measured on Earth is 56.7°C (134.1°F), recorded on July 10, 1913, at Furnace
Creek Ranch in Death Valley, California, USA. This record has stood for over a
century, though a higher reading of 58°C (136.4°F) from the same location in
1913 was officially invalidated in 2012 due to measurement issues. Death Valley
remains notorious for extreme heat, with modern verified highs reaching 54.4°C
(130°F) in 2020 and 2021.
