California: The world’s highest temperature is currently known on the planet, which is also a new record in human history.
130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.4 degrees Celsius) in California’s famous Death Valley National Park and confirmed by the US Meteorological Service.
The West Coast region of the United States is currently in the grip of a severe heat wave that could intensify this week, with a new record of heat set in the meantime.
More high temperature records
Earlier in 2013, the same area recorded a temperature of 54 degrees Celsius. That’s why Death Valley has hot and dry weather banners everywhere. Death Valley is also claimed to have a temperature of 56.6 degrees Celsius a century ago, but current experts consider it a mistake.
Similarly, in 1931, Tunisia claimed to have recorded a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius, but at that time there was no infrastructure in Africa and therefore the experts of the present era are expressing doubts about it.
From Arizona to Washington, the United States is currently in the grip of intense heat that will continue for the next ten days
