Is it possible for the temperature in the air to reach over 120*?
Im in Texas for a vacation and its really hot compaired to Ohio, and right now its like 105*F, and im DIEING!
So, i was just wondering if it can get any hotter than that, but i do know in Morroco, its reached 120*F. Is it possible?

Yes. I’m not sure about how hot it can get in Texas, but my husband is in Iraq right now and they’ve had days that have hit 130*F (and it’s expected to get hotter these next few months).
Yes, very possible. The record in the USA is 134 °F (56.7 °C) recorded in Death Valley, California on July 10, 1913. For the entire Earth, Al ‘Aziziyah, Libya holds the record at 136 °F (57.8 °C) and it has hit that 3 times over the years.
Yes. In the late summer of 1990, the temperatures in the northern desert of Saudi Arabia frequently reached 125F. The temperature also hit 120F on several days in northern Kenya where I was on a peacekeeping mission. I’ve heard that such temperatures are quite common in the Sahara, central India and central Australia.
And, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
On June 26th, 1990, it reached 122 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, it is certainly possible and it is also miserable. At least in the desert southwest it’s a dry heat. Instead of getting the life sucked out of you by humidity, you just get baked through and through like a potato. Fun.
