Temperature in Death Valley, California recorded 130 degrees Fahrenheit
Randy Cerveny, chief of the World Meteorological Organization Extreme Weather said that, "What I've seen so far suggests that is a valid hypothesis." He further wrote in mail stating that, "I recommend that the World Meteorological Organization accept the observation in advance. Of course, we will examine it in detail in the coming weeks, together with the united states National Climate Extremes Committee, using one of our international assessment teams."
Moreover Death Valley recorded 134 degrees, the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth and this record was set on July 10, 1913. However, this calculation is questionable; christopher Burt, an expert on severe weather statistics, performed an extensive study of that record in 2016 and concluded that it was "essentially not possible from a meteorological perspective." The 130 degree reading recorded on sunday would be the highest officially recorded temperature in the world since 1931, and the third-highest since 1873. The only two higher readings include the disputed 1913 Death Valley reading and a reading of 131 degrees from Kebili, tunisia, set July 7, 1931, which is considered as the highest temperature in Africa.
