    G'day Anonymous,

    Thank you for your question.

    I cannot find a definitive answer. However, there are some indications. Hawaii is the US state with the lowest minimum temperature and its location means it doesn't really get a winter. Its summers don't get that hot either as it shares the lowest record maximum temperature with Alaska. However, it has warm days all the year round which would probably make it hottest overall. If not Hawaii, it would be in the Southwest with Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada all contenders.

    The record high in the US was in Death Valley California with 134 °F (56.7 °C) on July 10, 1913. However, that does not mean it is the hottest overall because of the mountains and the north of the state.

    I have attached sources for your reference.
