Coober Pedy is a desert area in southern Australia. Like any desert, it can have extreme temperature swings. The highs can be over 115º F, and the lows can dip into the low 30s. Deserts get so hot because there is little to no cloud cover. During the day, the sun blasts the sand with heat, and the sand releases the heat back up into the air.
