Built to commemorate the highest temperature ever recorded in
the United States, the
World’s Largest Thermometer
in near Death Valley, California is a whopping
134 feet tall. Why? There’s one foot for every degree - yes, it
really did reach an unbelievable 134° Fahrenheit
here in 1913.

That’s 40.8 metres and 56.7 °C for those of you feeling confused
right now

And although there’s no high-res imagery, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_temperature_extremes
the coldest temperature ever recorded in the US , a terrifying
−80.0 °F (−62.2 °C), was recorded in
Prospect Creek, Alaska.
