Does it ever reach 10C there?

A bit of research turned up that it did so on 21st June, 9th July and
20th August last year:

Apparently the temperature once reached 26C there, much higher than
anything seen last summer or so far this:

Was that 4.5 billion years ago, when the whole Earth was a giant ball of
molten lava?
