highest weather station in the world
In July 1913, observers in Furnace Creek, CaliforniaâDeath Valleyâwatched the thermometer reach 56.7Â°C (134Â°F) and declared it to be the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth. But just nine years later, on September 13, 1922, a weather station in El Azizia, Libya, recorded a temperature of 58.0Â°C (136.4Â°F). According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), that remains the highest air temperature ever measured.
