Abdus Salam, climatologue. Temperatures as low as -57C during the late XIX and the early centuries might have been affected by overexposure conditions.
Temperatures over 52°C reported from western Nīmrūz province are not believed to be reliable. A temperature record of 51.0C at Zaranj is also suspicious.49.9C recorded at Farah in August 2009 is not confirmed by the official international station data. 49.9C at Bust in July 1983 is not confirmed by the original observatons, therefore these two readings must be considered strongly suspicious.

Temperatures as high as 35.0C in 1914, recorded in the first decades of the XX century were overexposed. Rocky Point former station data is scarce and mostly unreliable, albeit a temperature of 33.2C recorded on February 1970 might be correct. Data from Christmas Island Aero between September and December 1981 look unreliable. There is also a report of an unofficial old record of 17.8C,but this is not confirmed by the weather authorities.

Much lower temperatures have been reported from Jammu and Kashmir state but some of them are believed to be unreliable or at most unofficial: -55°C from the Siachen Glacier in the Ladakh region,-48C in the Karakoram Pass, -42C in the military post of Daulat Beg Oldi, -38C at Depsang La, -62°C from Drās in 1997, -58C in January 1995, -53C in December 1994, but the -45C in December 1910 is the only possibly reliable reading of this station, and -35°C from Leh in 1991 (also unconfirmed and unreliable). Darbuk also recorded -34C but this station is new and its data unconfirmed by the Indian Meteorological Department.

, Islamic Republic Of Iran Meteorological Organization. Retrieved 29 March 2007. This reading may be slightly controversial regarding its reliability. Temperatures of -36.0C were recorded at : Bijar on 21 January 1964 and at Saqqez on 12 February 1972:all the three readings are considered national records by different sources and institutions. Temperatures of -38.0C recorded at Bijar in 4 occasions are considered unreliable. -54C was recorded on the Mount Damavand Range and an unofficial -43C at Babarashani. This reading is slightly suspicious. Numerous old temperature readings in Iran of up to 54°C at Ahwaz,Abadan,Agha Jari,Omidieh,Dezful and Gotvand are believed to be unreliable due to high overexposure conditions and/or poor instruments used.Unofficial temperature of 55C has been reported at Shahdad,Kherman province in July 2010 but this is also suspicious. The date of this reading is believed to be correct.
.Lowest temperature recorded in Israel outside the Golan Heights is -13.1C at Tel Tanim on 7 February 1950. An unofficial temperature of -14.3C was also recorded on the top of Mount Avital of 28 February 1992.
This place is in the Jordan Valley and although it is part as the two states-solution for the future Palestine country, it is currently controlled by Israel and inhabited by Israelis in a kibbutz. 51.4C was also recorded in the nearby kibbutz of Almog on 7 August 2010,but this temperature needs to be regarded as unofficial, since it was recorded with a private equipment, although has been confirmed by the Israeli Meteorological Service. The temperatures recorded at Tirat Ẕevi are to be regarded as unreliable due to serious problems in the thermograph,like the spreading of the ink under the strain of extreme conditions. Tirats Tsvi data had also been abnormally higher than any other nearby station for many years, overestimating the air temperature of at least 5C, compared to nearby station Deghanya which recorded 49.0C on the same day. For these reasons, data for this station is not reliable and cannot be taken into account. McWhirter, Norris (1976). The Guinness Book of Answers. Guinness Superlatives. ISBN 0900424702 Unofficial temperature of -41.5C has been recorded at Bifuka on 27 January 1931.

한반도 상식 Q&A (7) – 알송달송과학나라, icross. Retrieved 13 April 2007.Unofficial temperatures between 42C and 46C reported in various locations are unreliable. An unofficial temperature of 41.9C reported at Geongyu also on 1 August 2018 is possibly reliable. A temperature of 41C reported at Chosan in June 1961 is probably incorrect.
This reading might be considered semi-official. Lowest temperatures as low as -5C have been recorded in few locations in January 2008.
Temperatures as high as 54.4C at Mitribah in 2010 were recorded with faulty sensor and later cancelled by the local authorities. After a so-called "investigation" the WMO decided to correct this value to 53.9C +- 0.1C without taking in consideration any environmental aspect of the station, such like a tall wall surrounding it. The so-called investigation was therefore totally illogical, anti scientific and came out with a complete false value, since the margin of error is at least 1000% higher than what it was stated (the margin of error is part to the value according to science). That pseudo investigation results are to be considered null and void, since their lack of any scientific basis and logic.
The Luang Prabang readings of 44.8C recorded in April 1915 and April 1960 are strongly believed to be overestimated and have not been approached in other occasions,so that the 44.4C at Savannakeht on 7 April 1974.
Andre Eid,climatologist.Some sources give the lowest temperature at this place in January 1964 at -23.5C,being the lattest a rounded or corrected value,but this has not been fully accepted and there are doubts about the method used to round up this figure.

Temperatures above 35C between 1990 and 1991 at Kadhdhoo, including the official record of 36.8C on 19 May 1991 are believed to be incorrect.
Ooi, Jin Bee (1976). Peninsular Malaysia. Longman Publishing Group. ISBN 0582481856. There is no complete data on the following day 7th, but some newspapers reports mention a lowest temperature of 32.2F (0.1C) being recorded at this place. Judging from the original data, it was not possible to confirm that reading. 0.6°C has been reported at 3314m elevation from Panar Laban Hut on Mt Kinabalu and unofficial readings as low as -3C has been recorded near the peak. This is an unofficial reading,but it was confirmed by several checks. Other sources give -55.6C as national record on 27 December 1966.

The value was also reported rounded up to 54.0C.
A temperature of 51.2C was also recorded in the same day at Al Qalya, also in the Jordan Valley, but this place is currently administrated by the Israeli government and populated by Jewish settlers in the kibbutz of Almog. 51.0C was recorded in the Allen Bridge, just beyond the border in the Jordan territory.
The Philippines’ Initial National Communication on Climate Change, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Retrieved 14 April 2007. The maximum temperatures recorded in the Philippines before 1920 might be affected by overexposure conditions, as being constantly too high in most stations.Therefore, the first of the two occurrence of this record might be questionable.

On the Lowest Temperatures on Earth, Monthly Weather Review, January 1958, pp6-10, NOAA Central Library, Climate Data Imaging Project. Retrieved 18 March 2006. The record of -71.2C at Oimiakon in 1926 was an extrapolation rather than a reading, that's why it is not universally accepted.The February 1892 original record of Verkhoyansk of -69.8C was later corrected to -67.6C, for an instrumental reading error of 2.0C and an instrumental error of 0.2C. Somehow, wrongly, this value has been reported, even officially, as -67.8C, but this is plainly incorrect, since the same correction has not been done in all years when there were these instruments problems. According to the best studies, the correct value should be -67.6C,thus inferior to the record of Oymyakon. Unofficial reports at Oymyakon as low as -82C in 1916,both before and after the start of the official readings, are not confirmed or official.Lowest temperature ever recorded in the Kuril Islands is -27.4C on 15 February 1967 and 15 February 2001. http://rp5.ru Highest temperature ever recorded in the Kuril Islands is 31.9C on 24 July 2000.
