The city of Zabol in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province recorded a temperature of over 48°C (118.4°F) in the past 24 hours, making it the hottest place on Earth during that period, according to a report from a news channel. The extreme reading comes amid a broader heat wave affecting Iran and parts of Europe.
A report circulating via a Telegram news channel states that Zabol, a city in Iran's eastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, recorded the highest temperature globally over the past 24 hours, exceeding 48°C (118.4°F). The claim frames the city as the hottest point on Earth during that window, amid widespread discussion of a European heat wave.
As The Zioneer has previously reported (BACKGROUND only — no direct continuity claimed), extreme heat events have struck Iran in prior weeks, with an average temperature of 48.6°C recorded across most of the country in late June. The current figure for Zabol is consistent with those earlier extremes but is a single-source observation, not yet cross-checked against Iranian meteorological service data or international weather platforms.
The broader heat wave context includes severe impacts across Europe, with record-breaking temperatures and hundreds of fatalities reported in France and elsewhere. No Israeli or security-related implications are indicated in this report.
