Temperature in a desert can varies greatly from >>40 oC to <<0 oC over day and night. Extreme temperature difference is due to lack of water vapour to absorb and reflect solar heat during day and prevent thermal radiation to space over night.
In Antarctica, the earth's largest desert, the lowest temperature on earth was recorded. Wikipedia reads: "The lowest natural temperature ever recorded at the surface of the Earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, on July 21, 1983."

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).

The mean temperature of the Sahara Desert is over 30 ºC (86 ºF). The average summer temperature is 30 ºC (86 ºF); winter temperature 13 ºC (55 ºF), considered low for a desert but a fact, apparently. Some months have average temperatures of 40 ºC (104 ºF), often reaching the 50 ºC (122 ºF). Summer temperatures can show a daily range of more than 50 ºC - reaching that temperature during the day then plunging below freezing at night. The highest recorded temperature was 58 ºC (136.4 ºF), in Libya. The Sahara desert is quiet expansive, as such the "mean" temperature varies quite a bit, coastal areas of the desert being more temperate. Night temperatures (particularly during the winter months) can drop dramatically after sunset due to the lack cloud cover (as well as re-radiation); temperatures can drop to -5 ºC and some ares can even experience frost.
