In most deserts, temperatures during the
day can easily reach over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (or 43
degrees Celsius).
This also makes the sand incredibly hot- think about how the
sand feels on a hot day on the beach!
Even though they live in the desert, they might not have
adapted to extremely hot temperatures.
Once the air and ground are cooler, these desert animals
are more active.
Nighttime temperatures in the desert can
range from being warm (upper 70s to lower 80s, or 25-28
degrees Celsius)
to being extremely cold in cooler deserts like the Gobi desert
(ranging from 0 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees Fahrenheit,
or -14 to 11 degrees Celsius).
