We have a town for you... Coober Pedy

Coober Pedy's underground homes, called "dugouts," were created to escape the extreme temperatures of the Australian Outback, which can soar above 40°C (104°F) in summer. These subterranean dwellings maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, making them ideal for the harsh environment.
 
Today's temp is even worse than last week's. -2F at ~8 AM. I'm working in the sunniest room in the house, wearing the heated gilet, and slipping my hands into a heated hand warmer whenever possible. This too shall pass!
 
I've just returned from Dubai, where I'm told it can rise to 50c in the summer months. Apparently it's illegal for outdoor workers to work between the hours of 12 - 5 during the summer months. I just cannot comprehend these temperatures, I don't think I've ever experienced temperatures of more than about 36 or 37 and that was too much for me....
 
I spent some time in Arizona and the temp was often mid 40c, but being a very dry heat it did feel more comfortable, you just had to be careful and make sure you drink plenty of water, we did a briefing on what to do if you break down in the desert and need help, to attract attention was to start by setting fire to the spare wheel in the hope that the black smoke would be seen and if all else fails set fire to the vehicle, to avoid this type if problem I just went to Walmart
