The 136° degree reading in Libya was officially discredited after a thorough investigation. When one station records 136°, and another a couple of miles away barely breaks 100° around the same time, then something is amiss.
As of now, the official highest temperature officially recorded on Earth was 134°, recorded on July 10, 1913 at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California.

The official high temp measured at a weather station is 136 F. But I know that when I was in Kuwait in August 2005 we had a high temperature of 146. Last summer in the Mojave desert near Barstow, the high one day was 140. Those were recorded on regular dry and wet bulb thermometers not the scientific calibrated thermometers that the weather stations use, but it was very very hot either way.

in terms of maximum temperatures ever recorded in the international and maximum annual propose temperatures in the international, the international s subtropical, warm deserts are patently the favorite places because of the fact those are aspects of severe atmospheric tension, air subsidence, low relative humidity, low clouding circumstances, bigger solar exposure under low latitudes...
