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.
In summer you are looking at a temperature of 38-42 degrees celcius (100-108 degrees fahrenheit.) In the winter it's a plesant but still hot 25-30 degrees celcius (77-86 degrees fahrenheit.) The great sandy desert is flat and as the name says sandy. This desert has sand dunes.
