Meteors cannot make landfall, by very definition.
Asteroid - space rock
Meteor - space rock that enters planetary atmosphere, where it's burnt up
Meteorite - space rock that hits its target
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.

Just to be clear, Iran DID NOT hit 165F, that was the heat index. Meaning, what it felt like.
The hottest temperature ever recorded was 56.7C .

If this heat wave, and now meteors falling and such happened a thousand years ago it would have been documented as the end times or something.
