Here’s another version of continent data based on Wikipedia that made the rounds lately:

Very interesting! Thank you very much for all this valuable information in your website!
Your welcome!
Steve, I tried to find a link to where those numbers came from exactly, but I couldn’t discern it through all those flashing Las Vegas ads. Do you have any idea where they got that info from?
For instance, in the link I posted the other day, Jeff Masters reported that Pakistan experienced the hottest measured temperature of the entire continent of Asia. But it’s lower than in this table you present. WUWT?
The original source is from NOAA

Thanks, that looks a lot better.

to quote Jeff at wunderground
“Pakistan had its hottest temperature in history on May 26, when the mercury hit an astonishing 53.5°C (128.3°F) at the town of MohenjuDaro, according to the Pakistani Meteorological Department. While this temperature reading must be reviewed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for authenticity, not only is the 128.3°F reading the hottest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan, it is the hottest reliably measured temperature ever recorded on the continent of Asia.”
Reliably measured rather than measured.

Interesting only one country set a cold record.
