Did you leave the thermometer out in the sun? The hottest recorded temperature ever on earth was in Libya on September 13, 1922, which was 58°C. It is exceptionally rare for the ambient temperature anywhere to exceed 50°C, let alone reach 57°C.
The thermometer was fitted on the underside of the front-extension of a roofrack on a 110, so not in the sun. Ofcourse I can not be taken responsible for the accuracy of the thermometer. This was end of July about 70km west of Merzouga (on one of the pistes in Chris' book).
