The mean temperature of the Sahara Desert is over 30 ºC (86 ºF).

The average summer temperature is 30 ºC (86 ºF); winter temperature 13 ºC (55 ºF), considered low for a desert but a fact, apparently. Some months have average temperatures of 40 ºC (104 ºF), often reaching the 50 ºC (122 ºF). Summer temperatures can show a daily range of more than 50 ºC - reaching that temperature during the day then plunging below freezing at night.

The highest recorded temperature was 58 ºC (136.4 ºF), in Libya.

The Sahara desert is quiet expansive, as such the "mean" temperature varies quite a bit, coastal areas of the desert being more temperate. Night temperatures (particularly during the winter months) can drop dramatically after sunset due to the lack cloud cover (as well as re-radiation); temperatures can drop to -5 ºC and some ares can even experience frost.
