The hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134

degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10,

1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years

later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not

properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent ground

temperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but

the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above

it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer

can attest to that.
