The temperature of a desert is also a defining and unique characteristic. Most deserts are warmer during the day than they are at night, and the difference in temperature is quite drastic. The average daytime temperature is 100Â°F, while at night the average temperature is 25Â°F. This large temperature difference is due to low amount of moisture in the desert air.
Hot and Dry Deserts temperature ranges from 20 to 25Â° C. The extreme maximum temperature for Hot Desert ranges from 43.5 to 49Â° C. Cold Deserts temperature in winter ranges from -2 to 4Â° C and in the summer 21 to 26Â° C a year. The precipitation in Hot and Dry Deserts and the precipitation in Cold Deserts is different.Hot and Dry Deserts usually have very little rainfall and/or concentrated rainfall in short periods between long rainless periods. This averages out to under 15 cm a year.he precipitation in Hot and Dry Deserts and the precipitation in Cold Deserts is different.
