The last decade has been witness to several of the warmest years in the past millennium. However, the record highest temperature ever measured in the U.S (134 degrees F at Death Valley, CA in July of 1913), and the hottest temperature ever recorded anywhere on the globe (136 F at Al' Aziziyah, Libya in September of 1922) occurred well before global warming was a buzzword, and despite the recent series of warm years, globally, these records have not seriously threatened.

As with your previous question about coldest temperature there is some debate...
In Al'Aziziyah (El Azizia), Libya on 13th September 1922 a temperature of 57.7 °C (135.9 °F) was reported but the Libyan's refute this as it wasn't an official reading. A wind known to the Libyans as Ghibli blows from the Sahara bringing extremely high temperatures with it and in a matter of hours temperatures can increase by as much as 40 °C (72 °F)
The highest undisputed temperature was recorded at Greenland Ranch in the Death Valley, California on June 10th 1913 when a temperature of 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) was recorded.

The highest ever recorded temperature in the world is 57.7 degree celsius. This was recorded in a place called Al'Aziziyah of Libya on 13th of september, 1922.
But the hottest place on the earth is considered to be the "Death Valley" of USA. It has a record of mercury shooting above 50 degree celsius continiously for 120 days. This place recorded a temperature of 56.7 degrees celsius on 10th July, 1913.
