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 58°Celsius. The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7°C (134°F), which...
The mountaineers and plateau researchers have a fairly well-established relationship from years of collaboration on research at extremely high altitudes. The mission's success will be record-setting, as the mountaineers are tasked to install the world's highest automatic weather stati...
Sherpas and scientists faced extreme weather and record crowds as they struggled to install a crucial network of weather sensors.
heat has scorched the country for more than a month, killing at least 36 people and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate their villages — or perhaps Kuwait, where local media recently reported high temperatures of 145 F (63 C), potentially the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth....

To date, theHighest recorded temperature on Earth– officially verified by the WMO – is 56.7 degrees Celsius (134 degrees Fahrenheit), measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California, USA. Death Valley was reinstated as the holder of this rec...
According toWMO (2018), an extreme heat event should be defined as “a period of marked unusual hot weather (maximum, minimum and daily average temperature) over a region persistingat least three consecutive days during the warm period of the year based on local (station-based) climatological ...
n early 2010 I stumbled across some charts from some eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources on the subject of thermometers and was intrigued with the vast number of temperature scales that proliferated in those days. Most seem pretty obscure now, but many at one time or another, such as ...
is global warming. The massive burning of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution has led to a dramatic rise in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The GHGs, accumulated in the atmosphere, have intensified the greenhouse effect and raised Earth's surface temperature. ...
