Hot desert climate

A hot desert climate is characterized by extremely high temperatures during the day, often exceeding 40°C (104°F), with very little rainfall throughout the year. This climate zone experiences intense sunlight, causing the environment to become very dry and arid. Nights can be surprisingly cooler, but temperatures rarely drop significantly. Vegetation is sparse, and water sources are scarce, making it a challenging environment for most plants and animals. Examples include the Sahara and Arabian deserts, where the harsh conditions shape the unique ecosystem and landscape.
