Q: Since 1880, NOAA's records show only one other instance when global temperature records were set three years in a row: in 1939, 1940 and 1941. The Earth has warmed so much in recent decades, however, that 1941 now ranks as only the 37th-warmest year on record. Short Answers to Hard Questions About Climate Change Highest recorded temperature. Share. On 13 September 2012 the World Meteorological Organisation disqualified the record for the highest recorded temperature, exactly 90 years after it had been established at El Azizia, Libya, with a measurement of 58C. But many modern meteorologists are sceptical of the record, arguing that the equipment used at the time was prone to error and not as reliable as modern recording methods. 1 Temperatures soared to record levels across the Middle East last week, especially in parts of Iraq and Kuwait (WX Bell/Ryan Maue/Twitter) According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the highest confirmed temperature on Earth recorded according to these measures was 56.7 C (134.1 F) in Furnace Creek Ranch, California, located in the Death Valley desert in the United States, on July 10, 1913. Kuwait swelters in 54C heat what could be the highest temperature ever recorded on earth. If you're feeling flustered by the mini-heathwave over parts of the UK and Europe at the moment, then you'll want to avoid the Middle East right now. But the bigger factor in setting the records was the long-term trend of rising temperatures, which scientists say is being driven by increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Graphic How 2016 Became Earth's Hottest Year on Record A ground temperature of 84 C (183.2 F) has been recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan. A ground temperature of 93.9 C (201 F) was recorded also in Furnace Creek Ranch on 15 July 1972; this may be the highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded.

NASA Climate 365 project - a collaboration of the NASA Earth Science News Team, NASA Goddard and Jet Propulsion Laboratory communications teams, and NASA websites Earth Observatory and Global Climate Change. The highest temperature ever recorded in Africa was 131.0F (55.0C) at Kebili, Tunisia, which is north Africa, on the northern edge of the Sahara Desert. Highest Temperature in Asia. The world's highest temperature ever recorded on the massive continent of Asia was on the far western edge of Asia, near the junction between Asia and Africa. Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth is still at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 C (129.2 F) recorded on 30 June 2013. 53.9 C (129.0 F) was recorded another four times: 20 July 1960, 18 July 1998, 20 July 2005, and 7 July 2007.
