Al 'Aziziyah

**Al 'Aziziyah** ( *Al 'Azīzīya*), whiles spelt *El Azizia*, is a ceety in an caipital o Al Jfara Destrict in northwastren Libie, 55 kilometres (34&nbsp;mi)  soothwast o Tripoli.

As o 2009, the ceety's population haes been estimatit at ower 4,000.

## Geography an climate
On 13 September 1922, a heich temperature o 57.8&nbsp;°C (136&nbsp;°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&nbsp;°C (94&nbsp;°F). If the record wis no the actual temperatur, then the hettest temperature  is 56.7&nbsp;°C (134&nbsp;°F) which haes been recordit in 1913 in Daith Valley in the Unitir States.
