> Hottest surface temp recorded on earth was 56.7C, no? Hottest air temperature at just above surface level; excluding several localized extremes like measurements around vulcanos or asphalt roads. Asphalt surfaces can easily reach 60+°C on days with direct sunlight and little to no wind, and vulcanos supply new surface all the time with temperatures far north of 100°C.
