As far as I know that number, 134F, is not considered accurate. The trusted number is just over 129F (129.2F) where Death Valley and Kuwait City are recently tied. This is only the hottest place where people live though.

The actual hottest place is the Danakil Depression of Ethiopia. The air is toxic around the hot springs due to high sulfur content and so almost nothing lives there except pools of exotic bacteria.
