The 54.4 degree temperature has reached Death Valley National Park in California.
Recording this temperature is being verified by the US National Weather Service, the BBC writes.
If the National Weather Service's census is accurate, it will also be among the three highest temperatures ever measured in Death Valley (a desert valley in eastern California) and the highest temperature ever during August.
The temperature in Death Valley reached 54.4 degrees Celsius at 15:4118x1>, the National Weather Service declared on Twitter.
Before that, the most reliablely recorded heat temperature on earth was 54 degrees Fahrenheit [54 ° C] also in Death Valley in 2013.
According to a 2016 analysis by the weather historian Christopher Burt, other temperatures in the region recorded in 1913 do not confirm the reading of Death Valley.
Another record temperature for the planet: 131F, or 55C He enrolled in Tunisia in 1931, but Burt said that this reading, as well as others registered in Africa during the colonial era, had serious issues of credibility”.
