The region is in the Himalayan rain shadow. (Moist air from the seas releases most of its precipitation as it is elevated over the high mountains.)

∙ 13y agoThe Gobi Desert gets so cold due to its relatively high elevation, but no, it isn't extremely high. However, the Gobi is in Mongolia and North China, with high latitudes, and the higher the latitude, generally the colder you get. However, summertime temperatures are usually around of 100, but not hot like the Sahara or Mojave. Regular deserts have temperatures fall about 25 (in the Mojave) to 40 (commonly in Sahara), but sometimes fall about 60 to 70 degrees lower than the high in some remote deserts, but this is uncommon. The Gobi, however, drop about 65-70 degrees lower than its high (about 105) to anywhere to 30-50 degrees!
