The Chihuahuan Desert runs from near Albuquerque, New Mexico, to near Zacatecas, Mexico. That is nearly 1500 miles so there is quite a range of average temperatures between the two extremes.
The Chihuahuan Desert is huge. The average low depends on the specific location, elevation and season of the year. In the winter the temperature at night may drop to the 20s or 30s F and in the summer the lows are usually in the 60s or 70s F.
The average temperature depends on the season of the year and location. In summer the temperature in parts of the Chihuahuan Desert can approach or exceed 115 degrees F. In the winter the temperature is usually in the 60s or 70s during the day but has been known to drop well below freezing for a few hours at night occasionally. It is classified as a hot subtropical desert.
Oh, dude, the average temperature of the Chihuahuan Desert ranges from like 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). It can get pretty toasty out there, so make sure to pack some sunscreen and water if you're planning a visit. But hey, at least you'll get that nice desert tan, right?
Hot Deserts: Chihuahuan Desert, Sonoran Desert, Mojave Desert.Cold Winter Desert: Colorado Plateau Desert
The Chihuahuan Desert is huge and much of it is in Mexico where there are few places reporting weather conditions. In winter the temperature falls below freezing for a few hours at night on rare occasions. However, a surprise cold front in early February of 2011 dropped the temperature to -20 degrees F (-29 C) in some locations.
That really depends on which desert and what you consider "really cold". As an example: Antarctica (the coldest region on the earth) is considered a desert and no matter what you consider "really cold" Antarctica is probably colder than that during the winter! For comparison... Sahara Desert average winter temperature: 13 ºC (55 ºF) Arctic Desert (North pole area) average winter temperature −40 °C (−40 °F) Arabian Desert average winter temperature 41 °F (5 °C) - with frequent frosts Gobi Desert average winter temperature ~ -13 °F (-25 °C) - but reaching -40°F/-40 °C at times Kalahari Desert average winter temperature ~32 °F (0 °C) Patagonian Desert average winter temperature 34 °F (3 °C) Great Victoria Desert average winter temperature 41 °F (5 °C) - with frequent frosts Great Basin Desert average winter temperature ~32 °F (0 °C) Note that even within these deserts there are considerable variations, especially with altitude; higher altitudes are colder. Deserts also characteristically have wider temperature swings than more humid areas. Temperature swings of 95 °F (35 °C) in 24 hours are not uncommon in the Gobi Desert. The Saraha has seen daytime to nighttime temperature swing from 37.5 to -0.5 °C (100 to 31 °F).
There is no winter in the Kalahari desert, only a wet season and a dry season.
I think that the average temperature should be recorded because some people need to find answers quickly!!!!!The average temperature of the Great Victorian desert is infact 40oc in summer but in winter it drops to 23oc.
The night temperature depends upon the season of the year. In the winter the temperature is usually in the 30s and 40s F at night but can drop much lover at times. In the summer the temperature at night is usually in the 60s and 70s F at night.
Each desert is different so you need to be a bit more specific.
Each desert has its own climate data and each differs from other deserts, We need you to name a specific desert.
The deserts of southern Arizona (Sonoran, Chihuahuan and Mojave) are hot subtropical deserts while the northern desert (Colorado Plateau Desert) is a cold winter desert.
