What was the highest temperature ever recorded on the surface of Earth?
The article entitled "54 Celsius degrees in Iran, the highest temperature ever recorded?" says 56,6 Celsius may be the highest temperature ever recorded, in Death Valley, California, and it also mentions that Iran's heat index peaked at 61,2 Celsius in the event the story was about.
I ask this question because several cities in my province in Argentina are registering heat indexes of over 60 Celsius, with a maximum in the center of Santa Fe city of 65,7° Celsius.
So what was the highest temperature ever recorded on the surface of the Earth?

The record the article is referring about seem to be the same registered at Guiness World Records:
On 13 September 2012 the World Meteorological Organisation
disqualified the record for the highest recorded temperature, exactly
90 years after it had been established at El Azizia, Libya, with a
measurement of 58°C. The official highest recorded temperature is now
56.7°C (134°F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.
Those records are usually well researched.
Note that you are mixing temperature and heat index in your question. Make sure you understand the difference.
It is surprising however, that with most the hottest years on record happening in the last few decades, the maximum recorder temperature is from 1913.
PS: "Greenland" Ranch... a rather sarcastic name for such a place.
