Highest recorded temperatures in Death Valley, United States as of 2020

Published by Ian Tiseo, Feb 6, 2023
At 3:41pm on August 16, 2020, preliminary temperatures in Death Valley, United States reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest temperature recorded on Earth since 1913, when temperatures in Death Valley reached more than 130 degrees Fahrenheit on both July 10 and 13. However, due to the reliability of older temperature recordings being questioned, it is possible that the temperature recorded on August 16, 2020 could be the hottest ever reliably recorded temperature on Earth.
Located in the Mojave Desert in Eastern California, Death Valley is known for its extreme weather and is one of the hottest places on the planet.
