Europe, Asia and the Caribbean saw their warmest January through August yet. Death Valley reached the highest temperature ever reliably measured on Earth: 130 degrees Fahrenheit. It wasn't long after that when Woodland Hills in southern California set a record temperature of 121 degrees in early September, the "highest official temperature ever recorded in L.A. County," according to the National Weather Service.
