From the Guiness Book of World Records:

On September 13, 1922 a temperature of 57.7°C (135.9°F) was recorded in the city of Al 'Aziziyah, Libya the hottest recorded temperature ever on the surface of the Earth.

Car outside temp indicators are frequently inaccurate as the warm air from the engine cooling fan flows over the sensor. I am not going to say it does not get hot in Kuwait, but...

The temp sensor is no even in the engine bay for that car... Believe me, it is very HOT!! Specially when you break the official measuring rules and you measure directly under the sunlight (not under the shade as it should)...

BTY, A NASA satellite recorded surface temperatures in the Lut desert of Iran as high as 71 °C (159 °F), the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of the Earth!!

How is Colorado?? I miss it man,, I used to live near 104th and I-25...

I don't think you should miss it tonight, we are getting more snow and it is cold and windy...

I live about 4 miles north and 1.5 miles east of that point...
