Only outdoor climactic temperatures are recorded; temperatures recorded inside Forest Fire s, for example, would not be included. Additionally, only temperatures recorded four feet (1.2 Metre s) or higher above the ground, and in the shade, are admissible, as ground temperatures in many areas are much hotter than air temperatures. One inch above the ground, temperatures can exceed 90 degrees Celsius (194 ° Fahrenheit ) in the deserts. Recorded temperature extremes are almost certainly not the highest and lowest climactic temperatures ever; Weather records have only been kept for a few decades in some locales, and uninhabited locations are recorded rarely if ever. As well, many readings exist exceeding documented extremes but are disputed. For example, there are disputed claims of 60.0 °C (140 °F) readings in the Mexican deserts.
