Answer:
During the day, sand's radiation of the sun's energy superheats the air and causes temperatures to soar. But, at night most of the heat in the sand quickly radiates into the air and there is no sunlight to reheat it, leaving the sand and its surroundings colder than before.

Because deserts have such little water vapor in the air, it makes it harder to trap heat or cold in a desert. ... At night, the sun no longer heats the desert and the heat from the day doesn't stay trapped. Because of this, some deserts can get cold at night, dropping to below 40F, which is definitely coat weather.
