The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says the record for the highest temperature was 56.7 Celsius set on July 10, 1913 in Death Valley. And the highest temperature for the Eastern hemisphere was set in July 1931 in Kebili, Tunisia, at 55.0°C. However, the WMO notes that weather historians have questioned the accuracy of these old temperature records.
世界气象组织表示，最高气温记录是1913年7月10日在死亡谷创下的56.7摄氏度。东半球的最高温度是1931年7月在突尼斯的基比利创下的55.0摄氏度。然而，世界气象组织表示，天气历史学家对这些年代久远的温度记录的准确性提出了质疑。

The U.S. National Park Service says Death Valley is "famous as the hottest place on earth and driest place in North America." The desert area also includes Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 85.9 meters below sea level. During the summer, the heat is trapped by the high valley walls and heated even more by the air pressure at its low point.
美国国家公园管理局表示，死亡谷作为地球上最热的地方，也是北美最干燥的地方而闻名。这片沙漠地区还包括北美最低点恶水盆地，其海拔低于海平面85.9米。在夏季，热量被高高的山谷壁围困住，并在其最低点被气压加至更热。
