Hottest day ever?

I assume they are taking an average or worldwide weather readings. They should probably qualify it as the "hottest day in the last XX years". Weather records go back a few hundred years (probably) in developed countries, but not very long in a lot of countries.

@taiwan_girl somewhere I saw that this was the warmest day since 1979.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain the medieval warm period to me.

Nah. They're just made up.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Thursday issued a note of caution about the Maine tool’s findings, saying it could not confirm data that results in part from computer modeling, saying it wasn’t a good substitute for observations.
Not an "official record?" Doesn't matter as long as the narrative is pushed.
Discussions about how official the records are aren’t as important as the public getting the message “that Earth is warming and humans are responsible,” said Max Boykoff, a University of Colorado environmental studies professor who tracks media coverage of climate change.
Because fires...
“Feeling the heat — and breathing the wildfire smoke, as so many of us in the Eastern U.S. and Canada have been doing for the past month — is a tangible shared public experience that can be used to focus the public conversation,” he said.
I thought that was pretty well debunked.

4.5 Billion years ago the temperature of the Earth was about 3,000 degrees Kelvin.
That's roughly 4,940 Fahrenheit
So, at the moment it is pretty cold.
By 2.8 billion years from now, the surface temperature of the Earth will have reached 422 K (149 °C; 300 °F), even at the poles.
