A place so hot, heaters store “cold” water

If you are living in the northern hemisphere this is supposed to be the middle of the summer. And you might argue that the weather sometimes becomes unbearable, so much you wonder how people can live without air conditioners.

Even in Canada, in July it tends to get hot enough for people to go for a swim or require air cooling. However, there is Death Valley in the United States, where heat is just unbearable.
Death Valley currently holds the record for highest air temperature ever reliably recorded, at 134°F (56.7°C) in July 10, 1913. In general the temperature stays above 100°F (38°C) for more than 150 days per year. The ground is so hot that those 20 people who live there have to disconnect their heaters in order to have a supply of “cold” water.
As a matter of fact, no one would actually dare to live in Death Valley, and this population only exists in order to preserve the national park, that also homes the famous roadrunner bird.
