Also no surprise with global warming, it is only hotter due to fiddling with the past data.
not sure how you fiddle the ''43rd consecutive year with global land and ocean temperatures, at least nominally, above average. ''or
''The world’s five warmest years have all occurred since 2015 with nine of the 10 warmest years occurring since 2005, according to scientists from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).''
Seems a trend there, and all based on data, nothing has been ''fiddled with''.
When I visited Death Valley around 20 years ago we saw 50C.
Hottest temp I’ve knowingly been in was 54C, whilst stationed at Al Taqaddum Airbase in central Iraq back in 2004. It was pretty incredible. Here’s a pic from the time of my inside/outside thermometer display.

I visited Death Valley a couple of years ago to conduct some high ambient HVAC testing with a UK OEM. It ended up being far cooler there than it was at our Arizona test facility and it even rained the evening we arrived; we couldn't believe it.
What an incredible place, though. The scenery is just absolutely off the scale.

My mate who lives inland from San Fran was down visiting his inlaws north of Fresno over the weekend, and he said it was 114F when they left late Sunday afternoon to drive home, and his inlaws live about 1500ft up in the foothills of the Sierra's as well, so not down in the central valley!
Just had a photo from my mate as he is leaving to go to work, and its 114F in NorCal where he is. He drives a train on the Bay Area Light Rail system, and they have been having problems with the pantographs braking of the top of the trains in the past few days, as the constant high temps have been expanding the overhead wires so much they are sagging more than normal and ripping of the pantographs on bends.
