Highest shade temperature?

Answer 1

Al Aziziyah, Libya in northern Africa recorded 136 degrees Fahrenheit in September 1922.

Answer 2

While the US is gearing up for summer, already temperatures at a number of locations in India, Pakistan, northern Africa and the Middle East have routinely been in the triple digits (Fahrenheit scale) for the past few weeks. Yesterday, the world's highest official temperature was in Pad Idan, Pakistan, where the temperature reached a simmering 120 degrees F in the shade. In a matter of weeks, monsoon weather will engulf the Indian subcontinent, and rain and clouds will keep temperatures down to more humane levels. The high heat areas of the world will again shift to where the weather is dry.
Typically, the highest temperatures occur in those places where the soil is dry and the atmosphere contains little water - desert areas. High temperatures result because nearly all of the net radiation received is available for heating the air and the soil. The drier the soil, the less the evaporation, and thus, the higher the maximum temperature and the lower the humidity. For this reason, tropical rain forests are too humid to be sites for global hot spots. From previous research it appears that the maximum temperature for a location that is freely-evaporating moisture only rarely exceeds 90 F.

Answer 3

In 1922, the highest shade temperature on the earth's surface was recorded in El Azizia, Libya, which reached 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 4

Temperature measurements are always taken in the shade.

Answer 5

The hottest temperature ever recorded anywhere on the globe was at Al' Aziziyah, Libya in September of 1922.
The temperature recorded was 136°F which is 57.778°C.

Now, that's really hot!!
As you can see, this occurred well before global warming was a buzzword.
