From ClimateCentral.org:

By the end of this week's heat wave, we may see a record tied or broken for the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

All-time records are likely to be threatened in normally hot places — including Death Valley, Calif., which holds the record for the highest reliably recorded air temperature on earth at 134°F. That mark was set on July 10, 1913, and with forecast highs between 126°F to 129°F this weekend, that record could be threatened.
