But just nine years later, on September 13, 1922, a weather station in El Azizia, Libya, recorded a temperature of 58.0Â°C (136.4Â°F). According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), that remains the highest air temperature ever measured.
Antarctica May Have Hit Highest Temperature on Record. But overall climate picture for southernmost continent remains complex, say scientists. In January 2015, gentoo penguins were photographed near Bernardo O'Higgins station in Antarctica. On March 24, the continent logged its highest temperature yet. Scientists have measured what is likely the highest temperature ever on Antarctica: 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit (17.5 Celsius). The measurements were made last Tuesday at Argentina's Esperanza Base, on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, according to the meteorological website Weather Underground.
