<P> Christopher C. Burt, the weather historian writing for Weather Underground who shepherded the Libya reading's 2012 disqualification, believes that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least 2.2 or 2.8 ° C (4 or 5 ° F) too high . Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth is still at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 ° C (129.2 ° F) recorded on 30 June 2013 . 53.9 ° C (129.0 ° F) was recorded another four times: 20 July 1960, 18 July 1998, 20 July 2005, and 7 July 2007 . On 21 July 2016, Mitribah in Kuwait also recorded a maximum temperature of 54.0 ° C (129.2 ° F), tying Death Valley's highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth, while Basra in Iraq reached 53.9 ° C (129.0 ° F) that day . On 29 June 2017, the air at the airport of Ahvaz in Iran reached 54.0 ° C (129.2 ° F) as well . In a second part to his analysis, he gave a list of 11 other occasions in which temperatures of 52.8 ° C (127.0 ° F) or more were reliably measured as well as the highest reliably measured temperatures on each continent . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Country / Region </Th> <Th> Temperature </Th> <Th> Town / Location </Th> <Th> Date </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Algeria </Td> <Td> 51.3 ° C (124.3 ° F) </Td> <Td> El Bayadh, El Bayadh Province </Td> <Td> 000000001979 - 09 - 02 - 0000 2 September 1979 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Botswana </Td> <Td> 44.0 ° C (111.2 ° F) </Td> <Td> Maun </Td> <Td> 000000002016 - 01 - 07 - 0000 7 January 2016 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Burkina Faso </Td> <Td> 47.2 ° C (117.0 ° F) </Td> <Td> Dori </Td> <Td> 000000001984 - 01 - 01 - 0000 1984 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Chad </Td> <Td> 47.6 ° C (117.7 ° F) </Td> <Td> Faya - Largeau </Td> <Td> 000000002010 - 06 - 22 - 0000 22 June 2010 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ghana </Td> <Td> 43.3 ° C (109.9 ° F) </Td> <Td> Navrongo </Td> <Td> 000000002015 - 04 - 10 - 0000 10 April 2015 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Niger </Td> <Td> 48.2 ° C (118.8 ° F) </Td> <Td> Bilma </Td> <Td> 000000002010 - 06 - 23 - 0000 23 June 2010 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nigeria </Td> <Td> 46.4 ° C (115.5 ° F) </Td> <Td> Yola </Td> <Td> 000000002010 - 04 - 03 - 0000 3 April 2010 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> South Africa </Td> <Td> 50.0 ° C (122.0 ° F) </Td> <Td> Dunbrody, Eastern Cape </Td> <Td> 000000001918 - 11 - 03 - 0000 3 November 1918 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sudan </Td> <Td> 49.7 ° C (121.5 ° F) </Td> <Td> Dongola </Td> <Td> 000000002010 - 06 - 25 - 0000 25 June 2010 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Swaziland </Td> <Td> 47.7 ° C (117.9 ° F) </Td> <Td> Lavumisa </Td> <Td>? </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tunisia </Td> <Td> 55 ° C (131 ° F) * </Td> <Td> Kebili </Td> <Td> 000000001931 - 07 - 07 - 0000 7 July 1931 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Western Sahara </Td> <Td> 50.7 ° C (123.3 ° F) </Td> <Td> Semara </Td> <Td> 000000001961 - 07 - 13 - 0000 13 July 1961 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Zambia </Td> <Td> 42.4 ° C (108.3 ° F) </Td> <Td> Mfuwe, Eastern Province </Td> <Td> 000000002010 - 10 - 13 - 0000 13 October 2010 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Country / Region </Th> <Th> Temperature </Th> <Th> Town / Location </Th> <Th> Date </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Algeria </Td> <Td> 51.3 ° C (124.3 ° F) </Td> <Td> El Bayadh, El Bayadh Province </Td> <Td> 000000001979 - 09 - 02 - 0000 2 September 1979 </Td> </Tr>
