Hottest day ever recorded on Earth

On 10 July 1913, the world's highest temperature ever recorded was 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) at Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley, California. This record has stood for over 100 years, and it is unlikely to be broken anytime soon.

The heatwave that caused this record temperature was caused by a combination of factors, including a high-pressure system over the western United States, a lack of rainfall, and strong winds. The result was a prolonged period of extreme heat that pushed temperatures to their limits.

The heatwave had a devastating impact on the local area. Crops were destroyed, livestock died, and people were forced to evacuate their homes. The heatwave also caused a number of wildfires, which further damaged the area.

The heatwave of 1913 is a reminder of the extreme weather that can occur on Earth. It is also a warning of the dangers of climate change, which is causing average temperatures to rise. As the planet continues to warm, we can expect to see more extreme heatwaves in the future.
