By sunrise in the morning the desert has lost all the daytime heating from the previous day and the current day's heating has not yet begun. Therefore, the time just before sunrise is generally the coolest time of the day in the desert.

What biome tends to be very hot in the day time and cold at night time?
Some deserts (hot deserts) are often hot during the day and much cooler at night. There is little humidity or cloud cover to hold the daytime heating.
What is the difference in day and night in the tundra?
the night is so much colder than the day
Why do deserts experience a high diurnal range of temperature?
Deserts generally have few clouds and little humidity. These two factors would normally insulate the land from heating so much during the day as well as prevent the heat from radiating back into space at night. Since deserts lack these factors they heat up quickly during the day and cool quickly at night.
Why is it always hot in a desert?
There are hot deserts and there are cold deserts so it is not always hot in a desert. The Antarctic Desert stays below the freezing mark even in summer. Some deserts are hot during the day but get quite chilly at night.
What is the difference between how hot it is in the morning and how cold it is at night in the desert?
Deserts are hot during the day, when the sun is shining. Once the sun goes down, then the temperature drops. This is because desert surfaces receive a little more than twice the solar radiation received by humid regions and lose almost twice as much heat at night.
Why do animals in deserts feed at night?
It is generally much cooler at night and most prey animals only emerge in the relative safety of darkness.
Would the climate be warmer the closer you are to sea?
Not necessarily. During the day, inland temperatures are usually much higher than they are near the coast, but at night, temperatures drop to colder temperatures inland, whilst seaside night time temperatures are milder.
Is the desert still hot even in winter?
No, deserts that are hot during the summer are much cooler in the winter, especially in cold winter deserts.
Why do deserts have colder nights than rainforest?
Rainforests have high humidity and usually are covered with clouds. These two factors act as a blanket and help hold in daytime heating so the rainforest does not cool much at night. Deserts, on the other hand, have few clouds and usually have a very low humidity. Once the sun sets, the heat of the day begins to radiate quickly back into space,
What is the main difference between hot and cold desert besides temperate?
the main difference between a hot and cold desert is the animals
Is the desert the hottest place on earth?
Not all deserts are hot. Some deserts are cold. Antarctica, for example, is technically mostly a desert. Deserts tend to have more extreme temperatures because they don't have much cloud cover. That means during the daytime, they get more sun, and at night, there's no cloud cover to reflect warmth back downward, so a lot of it escapes into space.
Why are temperate deserts very hot during the day but very cold at night?
Only cold winter deserts have very cold winters. They are located in the temperate zone and receive less sunlight in the winter months so do not heat up much during the day. Subtropical deserts, on the other hand, are usually quite mild in the winter.
