The World's Highest Recorded Temperature was in Death Valley, but it's not what you think - Apparently.
On July 10, 1913, the temperature in Death Valley, California reached a scorching 134°F (56.7°C). However, this record has been disputed due to concerns about the accuracy of the measurement. In 2021, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) officially confirmed this reading as the highest reliably measured air temperature on Earth. The reading was taken at the Furnace Creek Ranch, which is located in the heart of Death Valley. This record has stood for over 108 years and remains one of the most extreme weather events ever recorded.
