Death Valley in California is the official hottest place on Earth. The temperature recorded was '134 degrees Fahrenheit (56.7 degrees Celsius') on July 10, 1913. The reason El Azizia, Libya does not hold the record is due to their claim being invalidated. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/17/death-valley-officially-hottest-place-on-earth/ Dec 14 12, 6:29 AM

The hottest surface temperature ever recorded keeps happening in the same area of the Lut Desert in Iran. Five of the seven years of temperature data (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009) have shown the hottest surface temperatures there. The single highest land surface temperature (LST) recorded in any year, in any region, occurred there in 2005, when MODIS recorded a temperature of 70.7°C (159.3°F) - more than 12°C (22°F) warmer than the official air temperature record from Libya.
