ArabiaWeather - The thermometer in Furnace Creek in Death Valley, in the Southern California desert, has risen to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.44 Celsius) , according to the National Weather Service's Center for Weather Forecasts (NOAA).

 

If verified, it would be the highest temperature ever recorded in the United States since 1913 K and possibly the highest reliably recorded temperature in the world .

 

The highest temperature ever recorded

The highest temperature on record on Earth was also in Death Valley, 134 degrees Fahrenheit, in 1913. However, many experts contend that the temperature reading, along with the various other temperatures recorded that summer, was likely Monitor error .

 

An analysis by Weather Underground historian Christopher Burt in 2016 revealed that other observations from the area in 1913 were inconsistent with the Death Valley reading .

 

In 1931, Tunisia set a record high temperature in Africa of 131 degrees. However, according to Burt, this record, and many others in Africa from the colonial period, have "serious credibility issues".

 

Because of these discrepancies, experts say the highest temperature ever recorded "reliably" on Earth was 129.2 degrees, from 2013 in Death Valley. This is so far. Assuming no anomalies appear, Sunday's reading is likely to be accepted.

 

The new reading appears to be unquestionable, but if there is cause for doubt, the National Weather Service or the World Meteorological Society may choose to conduct a review.
