Anthrax, in it's weaponized form, is a dry powder containing spores. It can last in this form for a really long time, and isn't real temperature sensitive. I presume the spores would start to "germinate" if they got wet, but in that environment (desert) that isn't much of an issue.
I'm not sure how temp sensitive other toxins such as smallpox, tularemia, and botulinum are.
