The average temperature in the Sahara Desert during winter can vary depending on the region, but generally:
- Daytime: The average winter daytime temperature ranges from 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F).
- Nighttime: Temperatures can drop significantly, often reaching below 0°C (32°F) and sometimes even as low as -10°C (14°F) in some areas, especially in the higher altitudes or during cold snaps.
The stark difference between day and night temperatures is due to the desert’s low humidity and lack of cloud cover, which allows heat to escape rapidly after sunset.
