Temperatures vary greatly between night and day in many desert regions. Typically, humidity blocks the sun's radiation. Since deserts have little to no humidity, about twice the radiation is absorbed. At night, a greater amount of heat is lost due lack of humidity. This can bring temperatures well below freezing, especially during the winter months.
