deserts are regions with the common characteristics of less than 250mm of precipitation per year throughout the whole area. it may be a hot and dry land, but there are also cold deserts and littoral deserts, which are not consistently hot. In addition, the aridity of the desert is dependent not only on precipitation but on evaporation and transpiration. If less water is evaporated or transpired from the region than is precipitated into the region, it can not be a desert.

A desert region is a geographic area characterized by low precipitation levels, arid conditions, and sparse vegetation cover. These regions typically have high temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night due to the lack of moisture in the air. Examples include the Sahara Desert in Africa and the Atacama Desert in South America.
