Both are the stuff of legend. I think Marble Bar would be worse overall thanks to the much warmer winters and higher humidity in general. Furnace Creek offers winter relief.
Funny how virtually everyone in here has said that MB is hotter, when the poll has a good amount voters for FC. How come they haven't posted here? Lol....
How about an average and extreme wet-bulb temperature comparison? I refuse to believe Marble Bar has ever recorded a nighttime low of over 38 C (100 F) like Furnace Creek in Death Valley has.
Furnace Creek has hotter summers, but comfortable winters, that place offers relief in the winter.
Marble Bar has less extreme summers but it’s hot all year.
Both climates are horrible, but I’d take both of them over tropical rainforests like Manaus and Singapore. At least Marble Bar and Furnace Creek have low humidity, sunny weather and a mild season.
Last time i was in Marble Bar, I experienced a 42c temp before a huge dust and thunderstorm dropped the temp to 26c mid afternoon. I took a pic of the public park thermometer for proof of the mild mid afternoon temp at the height of summer ( couple of days before Xmas )
