Do you know which place in the world has recorded the highest temperature?

In intense heat, people’s life is miserable. The highest temperature in the country so far was 42.6 degrees Celsius at Jessore on April 20. The Met Office says the temperature may rise further. Temperature is 39 degree Celsius but feels like above 40. People are trying to protect themselves from the heat in various ways.

Meteorologists say that the temperature of the earth is increasing as a result of global warming. Do you know what? The world’s highest temperature was recorded at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, USA. According to all the records that are reliable in the world so far, the highest temperature record is in Death Valley National Park in California, USA.

In 1913, the temperature in Death Valley National Park was 56.7 degrees Celsius or 134 degrees Fahrenheit. Although bone-chillingly dry air characterizes Furnace Creek. America’s National Weather Service has also confirmed this temperature. Temperatures in the region continue to rise as a heat wave continues across the US West Coast.

You’ll burn your face in the extreme heat here,’ said Brandi Stewart, a worker at Death Valley National Park. Miz Stewart has been working at this national park for five years on and off. He had to spend most of the time in the house during this month of May-June.

As temperatures rise, so do ‘firenados’ in California. These are fire tornadoes that often form during dry and intense heat waves. The second highest temperature reliably recorded in the world is also in this Death Valley, in 2013. It was recorded at 54 degrees Celsius.

However, a 2016 review by meteorological historian Christopher Burt found that Death Valley’s temperature readings from 1913 do not exactly match other records for the region.

The world’s highest temperature was recorded in 1931 in Tunisia. But the credibility of this information, as in other parts of Africa during the colonial period, is also questionable. Besides, there are many places in the world where the temperature reaches from 56 degrees Celsius to 129 degrees Fahrenheit.
