CRAP !!
In 2012, the World Meteorological Organization invalidated the previous
world temperature record of 136.4 degrees from El Azizia in Libya from 1922.
Thirteen scientists from nine countries conducted a review of the Libyan
reading which uncovered five fundamental problems with the temperature
measurement, so the record reverted back to Death Valley, California, for
its 134.0 day in 1913.
