Temperature extremes can cause their share of trouble. From frozen water pipes and cars that will not start in the cold to dying crops and brown lawns during a summer heat wave. What most of us have experienced doesn’t compare to what the Australian town of Marble Bar endured way back in 1923. For 160 days in a row, temperatures exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As far as heat waves go, that’s a world record, but it’s definitely not one to be envied.
