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 deserts temperature can raise up to 50 degrees Celsius but the average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius. But with extremes the average temperature of extremes is 44 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius. At night the temperature can drop to below -5 degrees Celsius. The average temperature is -3.9 degrees Celsius.
