The highest temperature in the world

The highest temperature recorded in the world was 58 degrees Celsius in the Azizia region of Libya in 1922, which was considered at that time the warmest region in the world. But did the record for the highest temperature on Earth remain recorded in Libya?! The answer is no!

On September 13, 2012, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ruled out the record for the highest recorded temperature in the world, 90 years after it was recorded in the Azizia region of Libya, with a measurement of 58 degrees Celsius.

The world's highest officially recorded temperature is now 56.7 °C (134 °F), which was measured on July 10, 1913, at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.

As a result of an investigation conducted in 2012, the World Meteorological Organization concluded that the Aziziyah measurement record could be inaccurate by up to 7°C due to a combination of factors including the asphalt-like surface on which the measurement was made, which does not reflect a fair representation of the soil. The original desert. Which made it disqualify the record of the maximum weather temperature measured in the world , which was registered in the name of Al-Azizia, which won the title of the warmest region in the world!

"This investigation demonstrates that because of continuing improvements in meteorology and climatology, climate experts can now re-analyze past weather records in greater detail than before," Randy Cerveni, a member of the World Meteorological Organization and professor of geography at the University of Arizona, commented in 2012.
