The highest temperature ever in Alaska was as high as the highest ever in Hawaii: 100 °F.
Even though Hawaii is tropical, the cool ocean breezes keep the statewide total temperature from getting extremely high. It hasn’t gotten as hot as 100°F since 1937. Not surprisingly, Alaska’s high record of 100°F was almost 100 years ago in 1915. The highest temperature ever in the United States was in California. In 1913, the temperature in Death Valley reached 134°F. That’s close to the world record: 136°F in El Azizia, Libya in 1922
