As- for our North American continent the hottest spot of all is m sunny California: Death Valley where on July 10 1913 the air temperature reached 134 degrees —only 3 degrees less than e the official record at Tripoli You might be interested to know that 100 degrees or over have been recorded m each of our states and provinces In fact from as far north as the Arctic circle!
