Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. According to the World Meteorological Organization, which northern African nation (formerly represented with an all green flag), was "controversially" the first place to record an air temperature in excess of 58.0�C (136.4�F)? "
...1. Tunisia 2. Libya 3. Egypt 4. Morocco On September 13, 1922, the weather station at El Azizia in Libya recorded the record breaking air temperature of 58.0�C (136.4�F). As of August, 2012, that recorded temperature remained a record. But on September 13, 2012, the World Meteorological Organization announced that the record was invalid due to potential measurement errors. Libyan meteorologists dispute the record annulment. However, it does not change the fact that El Azizia is still "Hotter than Hades." Winds blowing off the Sahara from the south can increase daily temperatures by as much as twenty degrees. Despite the heat, almost 300,000 people live within the metropolitan area which is the capital of the Jafara District.
