Re,
People have been living in Australia under those conditions for thousands of years....
So how do these hardy Marble Bar locals survive the hottest time in the 'hottest town in Australia'?
1 Jan 2022Of all the places in the world to live, some people have chosen to make their home in the "hottest town in Australia", the dusty desert outpost of Marble Bar.
Despite an extreme heatwave that threatened to push the maximum temperature to 50 degrees Celsius this month, the West Australian town fell just shy of cracking the country's hottest December temperature record.
Marble Bar earned the title of Australia's hottest town when it recorded the longest heatwave — 160 days over 37.7 degrees — in 1923 and 1924.
It is still listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
