The temperature of a desert is also a defining and unique characteristic. Most deserts are warmer during the day than they are at night, and the difference in temperature is quite drastic. The average daytime temperature is 100Â°F, while at night the average temperature is 25Â°F. This large temperature difference is due to low amount of moisture in the desert air.
