Found this on the Discovery Channel Website and thought I'd share it with you.

Hunter is right in the middle of all this. He called last week and told us it was 133* in Afghanistan. His description: "it's like being boiled alive". Since the body actually registers any response to temperatures over 113* as pain, I can only imagine what he and the others are going through. As long as he is there, I will not complain about the heat here.
Here are the top 9 hottest places on Earth:
9 - Sudan 127*
8 - Iran - 128*
7 - Israel - 129*
6 - Araouane, Mali - 130*
5 - Timbuktu, Mali - 130.1*
4 - Tunisia - 131*
3 - Ghadames, Lybia - 131*
2 - Death Valley, CA (USA) - 134*
1 - El Azizia, Lybia - 136*
Make sure you check out the thread. I t has a lot of cool information on the different locations and the circumstances around when the records were set.
