The hottest inhabited place on Earth is Dallol, Ethiopia. Between 1960 and 1966,

its annual mean temperature was recorded as 34.4°C (93.9°F). The average

daily maximum temperature there during the same period was 41.1°C (106.0°F).

Interestingly, Dallol is not on the equator, or even very near it. Its latitude is 14.239° North,

or about 1,580 km (980 miles) from the equator. Its extreme climate is related to its

position in the Rift Valley, at about 130 meters (430 feet) below sea level.

Similarly, the highest temperature ever recorded in North America was 134°F,

in Death Valley, California, situated at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level,

and latitude 36.25° and 2,500 miles (4025 km) north of the equator.
