The highest recorded temperature on Earth was 56.7 degrees Celsius (134 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme temperature was measured on July 10, 1913, in Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA. Death Valley is often noted for its harsh desert climate, characterized by extreme heat and aridity. The record remains a subject of debate among climatologists and meteorologists, with discussions around the accuracy of older measurements and ongoing analysis of temperature recording methods. Nonetheless, this benchmark serves as a reminder of the Earth's climatic extremes and the importance of understanding temperature variations within different geographical regions.
