  • Global temperatures continue to increase, with 2024 recording the warmest numbers on record.
  • In 2021, Oregon, Utah, and Washington broke heat records.
  • The hottest temperature recorded in US history was 134 degrees Fahrenheit in California in 1913.

Americans are feeling the heat as temperatures climb across the country.

In January, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported that 2024 was the hottest year on record, and 2025 is shaping up to be a scorcher too.

Amid this week’s heat wave, CBS News reported that more than 200 million Americans, from the Midwest to the East Coast, are under heat advisories.

The official climate government website reported that Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.11 degrees Fahrenheit per decade, and 2024 was the warmest year since worldwide records began in 1850.

But global temperature rise doesn’t mean it just gets hotter everywhere at the same rate. According to data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), some states in the US reached their all-time hottest recorded temperatures decades ago.

Here’s a list of every state and its hottest day on record.
