Geography an climate
On 13 September 1922, a heich temperature o 57.8 °C (136 °F) wis recordit in Al 'Aziziyah, which is the heichest temperature ever measured on earth.

However , that reading is controversial:
 The weather station was at first in Al Aziziyah town, but in 1919 it was muivit tae a hilltop fort, where the weather station wis set up on black tarmac, which wad hae absorbed mair sunlicht an made the air thare airtificially hetter, explainin a period o vera het readins thare frae 1919 tae 1928.
 Shortly afore the 13 September 1922 record readin, the weather station's uisual maximum thermometer haed been damaged, an replaced bi an uncalibratit ordinary maximum-minimum thermometer sic as aften uised in greenhouses.

This record daes no mean that Al 'Aziziyah is the hettest place on Yird; that title belangs tae Dallol, Ethiopie, whaur the mean temperatur is 34.4 °C (94 °F). If the record wis no the actual temperatur, then the hettest temperature  is 56.7 °C (134 °F) which haes been recordit in 1913 in Daith Valley in the Unitir States.
