Hot Deserts
With extreme temperatures present in both day and night, hot deserts are dry. However, these deserts are utterly hot during daytime but extremely cold at night. The usual temperatures reach 43° – 49° Celsius in daytime while it goes down towards -18° Celsius at night. The annual rainfall does not usually exceed 250 millimetres. Hot deserts can be found in almost all the continents; Sahara and Kalahari in Africa, Arabian Desert in Middle East, Great Victoria Desert in Australia, Gobi Desert in Asia, and Great Basin Desert in North America are some of the largest and amongst the most known deserts.
Cold deserts are almost lifeless regions with snowing winters during most of the time of year. Out of all the deserts in the world, the Antarctic and Arctic deserts are two of the largest in land area covering more than 27,000,000 square kilometres together. The winter lasts for nine months with an average temperature ranging around -2 to 4° Celsius, yet it could go as down as -50° Celsius. During the three months of summer, the mean temperature lies around 12° Celsius. Precipitation takes place in two ways, raining and snowing. The annual rainfall does not exceed 250 millimetres, and most of the raining takes place in the summer.
