Most rain forests are located near the equator where the rising air carries a great deal of moisture into the atmosphere, causing rain showers. In the desert regions air is usually sinking so has little humidity except during the rainy season.
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.
There are about two dozen major desert regions in the world and each one has different statistics. Temperatures can range from -128 degrees F. in Antarctica to +134 degrees F. in the Mojave Desert
The river basin would generally be more humid.
Temperatures can vary from -135 degrees F in the Antarctic Desert to +134 degrees F in the Mojave Desert.
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.
You need to specify a particular desert as each desert is different and has its own climate statistics.
It is not necessarily high. The Gobi Desert is quite cold. Even the American southwest desert gets pretty chilly at night. And - believe it or not - part of Antarctica is a desert. It is the amount of precipitation that makes it a desert, not the temperature.
A desert usually has little cloud cover and high humidity that would hold in day time heating. Therefore, the desert cools quite quickly when the sun sets.
Every desert is different and temperatures depend upon location and season of the year. Temperatures in the Antarctic Desert can drop below -120 degrees F or exceed +120 degrees in parts of the Mojave, Sonoran and Sahara.
To experience fog an area has to have a relative humidity of near or at 100%. The temperatures must be at or near the dew point. Deserts rarely have the humidity levels needed to produce fog.

All of Antarctica is considered a desert, because the average humidity is less than five percent.
A desert is a dry, often sandy region of little rainfall, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation.
There are about two dozen major desert regions in the world and each one has different statistics. Temperatures can range from -128 degrees F. in Antarctica to +134 degrees F. in the Mojave Desert
Each desert is different but temperatures may exceed 130 degrees F. in some hot deserts.
Desert implies a lack of humidity. Antarctica experiences less than five percent humidity, which makes it a desert.
they are different because the grassland range in the winter is 50 degrees and 90 in the summer . but the range for the desert is more than 100 degrees.
