Boise hit 110. That's got to be some sort of record.

 

Missed the all-time by 1.

Apparently the observation at Volcano was not made under standard WMO procedures nor was the 130F measured at Amos CA (a town in the Salton Sink that disappeared when the sink was flooded forming the Salton Sea). In a Weahterwise aricle exploring the World's heat records and problems with many of them by Dr. Randy Cerveny (US member and chairman of the WMO Commission that verifies records and which disallowed the Libyan 136F reading), Death Valley not only holds the world's record currently but is the only station currently recognized by WMO as reaching 129F in the World.
