What is the weather like in the desert?

Answer 1

The desert is the hottest biome on earth. However, the desert is also a land of extremes. It can be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day but below 32 degrees at night. This change is because deserts are bare. There is little protection to keep them from heating up in the sun and cooling off when the sun disappears at night.

The amount of rainfall also varies. Though there is little rain in a desert, and when it does rain, it pours. Violent rainstorms can cause flash floods in the desert. After a storm, the desert may not see any rain for weeks or months.

Answer 2

There are 2 dozen major desert areas in the world, some of them hot and some of them cold. Each desert has its own weather statistics so there is no single answer to this question. If you select a single desert area, perhaps a specific answer can be given.

Answer 3

In the desert, the weather is typically dry and hot during the day, with temperature extremes ranging from very high in the day to very low at night due to lack of moisture in the air to retain heat. Rainfall is minimal, and desert environments can experience sudden and intense rainstorms known as flash floods.
