6 Hottest temperatures ever recorded in the U.S. was 134 degree Fahrenheit

The highest temperature recorded in the U.S. happened on July 10, 1913 in Death Valley. The official reading was 134° which is also the highest temperature reported in the Western Hemisphere. Death Valley’s sole geography is primed for great heat. Winds off the higher neighboring land, called the Great Basin, often gust hot, dry air thousands of feet down into the long, thin valley. The sheer walls of the valley fundamentally trap the heat, give out it back into the valley, leading to the already hot air to raise even hotter. July’s mean high in Death Valley is 115°, but nearly annually the temperature reaches 125°, or higher.
