Globally, most of the top 10 hottest years have occurred in the last 15 years.
The South Pole has been keeping records for 32 years, and it's hottest temperature ever recorded was -12.3°C (9.9°F). Lukunor, Federated States of Micronesia has been keeping records for 30 years and it's coldest temperature ever recorded was 22.8°C (73.1°F).
Of course, it is what else could be. Death Valley (Mojave Desert), East California, USA, now holds the record of being the World's Hottest Place. 56.7 c was recorded in 1913. Though i wonder it took them 90 years to correct the records. Al Azizia (El Azizia) kept this record over the years since 1922.
It was year 2012The temperature differences between years are usually measured in fractions of a degree, but last year's 55.3 degree Fahrenheit average demolished the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree Fahrenheit.Refer to link below for details.
AnswerThe last ten years have been the hottest since accurate records began.There have been hotter periods in the past, but species had time to adapt. The present rate of climate warming seems to be the fastest ever.
It's very close, but the hottest year is 2010, with a 0.659° Celsius anomaly (difference from the 1901-2000 average).The ten warmest years on record have been:2010200519982003200220062009200720042012
2005 and 2010 tie for the warmest years ever recorded.

That seems to change every few years. Sometimes it is the Sahara Desert but recently the Mojave Desert has overtaken the Sahara.

This can not be answered because records have not always been kept though the thousands of years. It is in only in the last century data like this has been kept.
Not unless you've been infected by some other source more recently.
Australia has extremes of heat, rain and drought, but not of cold. Droughts are common and prolonged heatwaves occur regulalry in the southern states during summer. Regarding heat extremes, the city of Adelaide in South Australia is a prime example. In January 2014, Adelaide recorded its hottest summer, and was even named the world's hottest city on January 16. Yet, on February 14 in the same year, Adelaide experienced its wettest day in 45 years.
I've lived in Atlanta for 39 years. July is the hottest month of the year. Specifically, the second half of July is the hottest.
The largest desert in the world is Antarctica. The hottest desert is the Mojave Desert at Death Valley. In 1913 the hottest temperature ever reliably recorded on earth in any desert was recorded at 134 degrees F,

The minimum temperature is the lowest recorded and the maximum is the highest recorded - or in a travel guide the lowest and highest likely to occur in a particular destination. These are averages of the most recent years at that location.
That day is significant as the temperature rose to 134 degrees, making it the hottest recorded day in history. The record stood until it was broken by Libya some years later in 1922. UPDATE: In December, 2012 the World Meteorological Society - the climate agency of the United Nations - threw out the Libyan reading as there was not sufficient evidence for it. Death Valley is now officially THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH!And on the hottest day in the hottest place on earth on July 10, 1913 one of the founders of the nearby town of Rhyolite was driving through Death Valley. His car broke down in the sand dunes. He left the car and tried to walk out. He was soon dead - of dehydration. His name was Pete Bush.
