This chart covers it all... https://www.sciencealert.com/images/art-jan-15/tem...
According to this: the highest possible temperature that matter can attain, according to conventional physics, and well, it's been measured to be exactly 1,420,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 degrees Celsius (2,556,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit).
So... kinda like California's Death Valley when your AC goes out.

Well the surface of the sun is approx. 5500 deg. C. However a temperature of 1999999982.222 deg. C has been artificially produced by a 'Z' machine which is an X-Ray generator. The scientists involved are still not sure, however, how these temperatures are produced

If think sort of like, if temperature is related to how fast particles are moving, there surely should be a limit, since no particles can go faster than the speed of light. Temperature is of course relative. The astronauts on the moon were standing in temperatures of 160 degrees Celsius in the daytime, but did not feel much of it because there is no air on the moon to transfer that heat. So, what would be the place where normal matter can become the hottest. Good question. I would say matter that is nearly falling into a super massive black hole (and create a very bright quasar), or the temperatures that are reached in a supernova, or maybe in the end the temperatures shortly after the Big Bang. It's hard to say,

There is an upper limit on heat. It is called the "Planck Temperature". The Planck temperature is the fundamental upper limit of temperature. Modern science considers it nonsensical to conjecture about anything hotter, as this is the upper limit at which matter can operate.
Beyond this, everything turns into energy as all subatomic particles become so excited they break down. You'll need a very good thermometer to measure this whopping 1.41679 × 10^32 Kelvin.
More energy can go into the system but it’s not considered “heat” and the laws of physics as we know them at this level are controversial.
