What is the average temperature in the Sahara desert?

The average annual daily temperature in the Sahara desert is about 20℃(68℉), and the average winter temperature is 13℃(55℉). Generally, the normal temperature difference is around 10-25 degrees. April and 10 are the most suitable time for traveling, with relatively small temperature difference and daytime temperature above 20 degrees. June 5438+1October temperature is suitable, and the temperature difference is mainly more than ten degrees, so it is necessary to travel.

The highest temperature in Al-Aziziyah, Libya reached a record 58℃( 136℉). The annual precipitation is 76 mm (3 inches). Although the rainfall varies greatly, most of it occurs during 65438+February ~ March. Another precipitation climax is August, which is characterized by thunderstorms.

Extended data:

The Sahara desert is dominated by two climatic conditions: the arid subtropical climate in the north and the arid tropical climate in the south. The arid subtropical climate is characterized by large annual and daily temperature changes, from cold to cool winter and hot summer to the highest precipitation.

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the rocks on the surface of the Sahara desert are falling apart due to continuous thermal expansion and cold contraction. Exfoliated gravel is weathered into large and small gravel and sand, and fine sand is blown to a lower place to accumulate into sand dunes, while gravel remains nearby to become Gobi desert.
