Deserts generally have low humidity and few clouds. These two factors act to moderate the amount and strength of light hitting the earth. The absence of humidity and clouds also allow any heat stored at the surface of the desert during the day to radiate back into space quite rapidly after the sun goes down. There is no 'blanket' to hold the heat in.
