The Hot Desert climate is characterized by extremely high temperatures during the day, often exceeding 40°C, while nighttime temperatures can drop significantly due to the lack of cloud cover. The average annual temperature typically ranges between 20°C to 30°C.

Precipitation in Hot Desert climates is minimal, often less than 250 mm per year. Rainfall is sporadic and can occur in short, intense bursts. This climate type usually experiences long dry seasons with very little humidity, contributing to the extreme daytime heat and the rapid loss of heat during the night.
