Place on earth with the highest minimum temperature?
It is easy to find the place on earth with the lowest minimum or highest maximum temperature ever recorded, but I am wondering where is the place with the highest minimum temperature ever recorded ?
I imagine it would be somewhere on the equator, where the temperatures would not drop below 21C, but I cannot find that information anywhere.

Dallol, Ethiopia holds the "official" record for highest average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, where an average annual temperature of 35°C (95°F) was recorded between the years 1960 and 1966.
Both authors and commenters note considerable holes in data, such as from the Danakil or Lac Assal depressions in Africa or Dasht-e-Lut in Iran, due to outside difficulties in placing equipment.
