when was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the world?
Until September 2012, the world record for the world's hottest temperature was held by Al Aziziyah, Libya with a high temperature of 136.4Â°F (58Â°C) reached on September 13, 1922. However, the World Meteorological Organization determined that the world's former record high temperature was miscalculated by about 12.6Â°F (7Â°C).
