The hottest temperature ever reliablyrecorded in a desert was 134 degrees F. at Furnace Creek in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in 1913. Some say that even hotter temperatures were recorded in Libya in the Sahara but these readings are not accepted by most as it was determined that those measuring the temperature were inexperienced and did not properly measure the temperature.
