Cold desert designation is based on average temperatures. Some cold deserts do get warm during the day but are still classified as cold deserts as the average temperature is much less than that of a hot desert.
Deserts are often cold. Deserts are created by a lack of precipitation, not by temperature.
There are hot desets, there are cool coastal deserts and there are cold deserts. Each has its own statisitcs. You need to specify a particular desert.
There are many different desert biomes, and the average temperature for each varies. Hot deserts have an average daytime temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while cold deserts have an average temperature of 28 degrees Fahrenheit.
There is no single meaningful answer to your question. There are polar deserts where the temperature can plunge to below -100 degrees F. There are hot deserts that have temperatures in the summer of well over 110 degrees F and there are cool, coastal deserts with mild temperatures all year long. There are also cold winter deserts that can be very hot in summer but bitterly cold in winter.
There are more than 2 dozen major areas of the world with arid climate. Each has its own climate statistics. There are hot deserts, there are cool deserts and there are cold deserts. There is no single answer to your question.
Deserts are located in areas that have pretty consistent weather. There are hot deserts and cold deserts because the temperature and climate are constant and almost unchanging.
a desert A desert is commonly defined as an area where the average annual evaporation rate is in excess of the annual rainfall. Deserts can be classified into two categories: hot and cold. Examples of hot deserts include the Kalahari and Sahara Deserts (where the average annual rainfall is very low and the average temperature is high). Examples of cold deserts would be the Antarctic, here, although it is cold very little rain falls, most precipitation is in the form of sleet and snow.
The two main deserts I assume you are talking about is hot and cold deserts. The difference between them is temperature (warm moderate summers for hot deserts, low rainfall.) Cold deserts may have snowfall and much lower temperatures in the winter. Summers in cold deserts may get quite hot, however.
That depends on the specific cold desert. As a rule, deserts receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall on average each year. Some cold deserts, such as the Atacama and Antarctica, receive virtually no precipitation for years.

Some cold deserts such as the Great Basin and Gobi Deserts may approach or exceed 100 degrees F. in the summer.
