Weather of Arabia - After the state of Leyton set a record for the highest temperature in the history of climate records for Canada, here is Death Valley, located in the southern California desert, setting new records by 54.4 degrees Celsius, becoming the highest temperature recorded in the world, in more than 100 years.

 

The highest temperature ever recorded in the world was 58 degrees Celsius in the Al-Aziziya region in Libya in 1922, but the World Meteorological Organization ruled out that the reading was correct and it was canceled as the highest temperature recorded in the world, after an investigation was conducted, the World Organization concluded indicates that the Azizia measurement record may be inaccurate by up to 7°C due to a combination of factors including the asphalt-like surface on which it was measured, which is not a fair representation of the original desert soil.

 

The highest officially recorded temperature is for Death Valley of 56.7 °C (134 °F), which was measured on July 10, 1913.
