The list of weather records includes the most extreme occurrences of weather phenomena for various categories. Many weather records are measured under specific conditions—such as surface temperature and wind speed—to keep consistency among measurements around the Earth. Each of these records is understood to be the record value officially observed, as these records may have been exceeded before modern weather instrumentation was invented, or in remote areas without an official weather station. This list does not include remotely sensed observations such as satellite measurements, since those values are not considered official records.{{Cite web |last= |title=World Meteorological Organization: Global Weather & Climate Extremes |url=http://wmo.asu.edu/#global |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213113854/http://wmo.asu.edu/ |archive-date=13 December 2013 |access-date=15 December 2013 |publisher=World Meteorological Organization}}

=Measuring conditions=

The standard measuring conditions for temperature are in the air, {{convert|1.25|m|ft|1}} to {{convert|2.00|m|ft|1}} above the ground,{{Cite web |url=https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=10616 |title=WMO (2018): Guide to Instruments and Methods of Observation |access-date=23 February 2022 |archive-date=30 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220730071140/https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=10616 |url-status=dead }} and shielded from direct sunlight intensity (hence the term x degrees "in the shade").

Satellite measurements of ground temperature taken between 2003 and 2009, taken with the MODIS infrared spectroradiometer on the Aqua satellite, found a maximum temperature of {{convert|70.7|C|F|1}}, which was recorded in 2005 in the Lut Desert, Iran. The Lut Desert was also found to have the highest maximum temperature in five of the seven years measured (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009). These measurements reflect averages over a large region and so are lower than the maximum point surface temperature.

Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of {{convert|-93.2|C|F|1}} on 10 August 2010, at {{Coord|81.8|S|59.3|E}}.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the highest temperature ever recorded was {{Convert|56.7|C|F}} on 10 July 1913 in Furnace Creek (Greenland Ranch), California, United States,{{Cite web |title=World: Highest Temperature |url=https://wmo.asu.edu/content/world-highest-temperature |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180501140030/https://wmo.asu.edu/content/world-highest-temperature |archive-date=1 May 2018 |access-date=1 May 2018 |publisher=World Meteorological Organization}} but the validity of this record is challenged

as possible problems with the reading have since been discovered. Christopher C. Burt, a weather historian writing for Weather Underground, believes that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least {{convert|4|or|5|F-change|order=flip}} too high. Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead {{convert|54.0|C|F}} recorded on 30 June 2013.{{Cite web |last=Burt |first=Christopher C. |date=22 July 2016 |title=Hottest Reliably Measured Air Temperatures on Earth |url=https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/hottest-reliably-measured-air-temperatures-on-earth |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812030844/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/hottest-reliably-measured-air-temperatures-on-earth |archive-date=12 August 2016 |access-date=3 August 2016 |publisher=Weather Underground}} This is lower than a 1931 measurement of {{convert|55|C|F}} recorded in Kebili, Tunisia, but the WMS rejects this measurement as due to an inexperienced operator misreading the instrument.{{Cite journal |last1=Fadli |first1=Khalid |last2=Cerveny |first2=Randall |last3=Burt |first3=Christopher |last4=Eden |first4=Philip |last5=Parker |first5=David |last6=Brunet |first6=Manola |last7=Peterson |first7=Thomas |year=2013 |title=World Meteorological Organization Assessment of the Purported World Record 58 °C Temperature Extreme at El Azizia, Libya (13 September 1922) |journal=Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society |volume=94 |issue=2 |pages=199–204 |bibcode=2013BAMS...94..199E |doi=10.1175/BAMS-D-12-00093.1 |doi-access=free}} Temperature of {{convert|54|C|F}} is also matched by a 1942 record from Tirat Zvi, Israel.{{Cite web |date=21 June 1942 |title=Climate Extremes in Israel |url=http://ims.gov.il/IMSEng/CLIMATE/TopClimetIsrael/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101006140959/http://ims.gov.il/IMSEng/CLIMATE/TopClimetIsrael/ |archive-date=6 October 2010 |access-date=5 December 2019 |publisher=Israel Meteorological Service}} 2016 and 2017 readings in Kuwait and Iran have also matched the 2013 Death Valley record, while readings in 2020 and 2021 also at Furnace Creek went even higher, up to 54.4 °C (130 °F), however, they have not yet been validated by WMO.{{Cite web |date=10 July 2021 |title=Temperature reaches 130 °F (54.4 °C) at California's Death Valley |url=https://bnonews.com/index.php/2021/07/temperature-reaches-130f-at-death-valley-california/}} The WMO has stated they stand by the 1913 record pending any future investigations.

The former highest official temperature on Earth, {{convert|58.0|C|F}}, measured in ʽAziziya, Libya on 13 September 1922, was reassessed in July 2012 by the WMO which published a report that invalidated the record. There have been other unconfirmed reports of high temperatures, but these temperatures have never been officially validated by national weather services/WMO, and are currently considered to have been recorder's errors,[http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=89 Weather Extremes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161025122339/http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=89|date=25 October 2016}}, Weather Underground – Retrieved 14 September 2012. thus not being recognised as world records.{{Cite book |last=Burt |first=Christopher C |url=https://archive.org/details/extremeweathergu00burt_0 |title=Extreme Weather |publisher=W.
