Answer :

The temperature in the Libyan Desert on that day was c. 136 degrees Fahrenheit, which is approximately 57.8°C and 314.8 K.

The temperature in the Libyan Desert on September 13, 1922, was 136 degrees Fahrenheit. To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: C = (F - 32) × 5/9. Therefore, 136°F is approximately 57.8°C.

It is said that on September 13, 1922, at El Azizia (about 40 km southwest of Tripoli), in what is now modern-day Libya, a temperature of 58°C (136.4°F) was experienced. Several publications referencing world records have said that the temperature record of 58°C is the highest ever recorded on Earth.

To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, use the formula: K = (F + 459.67) × 5/9. Thus, 136°F is about 314.8 K.
