highest temperature recorded by state
In fact, the highest temperature recorded in California, 134 degrees, is also the current hottest air temperature on record on Earth and was measured in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913.
Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth is still at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 Â°C (129.2 Â°F) recorded on 30 June 2013. 53.9 Â°C (129.0 Â°F) was recorded another four times: 20 July 1960, 18 July 1998, 20 July 2005, and 7 July 2007.
