Hottest temp on Earth
July 20, 1913
With hot spots like 'Furnace Creek' and 'The Devil's Golf Course,' California's Death Valley doesn't surprise with a mercury rise, but the temperature today tops out at 134° F, the highest ever recorded on Earth, and a record that will stand more than a century later.
They are trying to make this record go away.

An Investigation of Death Valley’s 134°F (56.7°C) World Air Temperature Record
In 2012 the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) disallowed what had long been considered the hottest air temperature ever measured on Earth: a 58.0°C (136.4°F) reading measured at El Azizia, Libya on September 13, 1922. As a result of this record being struck from the books, the temperature of 134°F (56.7°C) recorded at Greenland Ranch at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California on July 10, 1913 became, by default, the new world’s hottest air temperature yet measured.
