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.
The coldest temperature of -129 degrees F. was recorded in 1983 in the Antarctic Desert.
Some say that number was surpassed in 2010 when a satellite recorded a temperature of -135.8F.

How high can temperatures reach in the desert regions?
A high temperature of 136° F (57.8° C) was recorded by a meteorological station in El Azizia, Lybia on September 13, 1922. It is quite likely that higher temperatures were reached at uninhabited locations in the desert hundreds of miles away, at the same time. It is also quite likely that this temperature has been exceeded many times since then in many places on Earth where we do not have meteorological instruments. That's why those places are uninhabited... The highest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134°F on July 10, 1913 in Death Valley, California. That is also the highest temperature ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere.
