really dry...desert like, lots of windstorms and droughts.  most of the foilage is brush and sage; most of the animals live in burroughs in the ground and some of the birds make their homes in the catcus...

it has maritime climate coz its an island - so not too hot or too cold. but being situated near the equator could also give i ta tropical climate

Northern Nevada and Utah have great examples of this type of climate. It tends to be warm and dry but does have four seasons. Hard to explain even though I lived in an area like this. It is usually called high desert

Cold and dry, which is a good thing, since I live in Wyoming.  Very cold and dry up here.  Hot humid days kill me.

Desert - very dry, either hot or cold \nTundra - cool, treeless, and dry \nChaparral or scrub - coastal area with hot, dry summers and mild, cool, rainy winters \nTaiga or Coniferous Forest - cool and dry, with coniferous trees \nTemperate Deciduous Forest - cool and rainy, with deciduous trees \nGrassland - Windy, partly dry sea of grass with few trees, including tropical savanna, prairie, steppe, pampas, etc. \nMountina biomes: there are a lot of different biomes that exist on a mountains, from grasslands at low altitudes, taiga (coniferous forests) below the treeline, and alpine (the same as tundra) \nTemperate Rain Forest - cool and wet \nTropical Rain Forest - warm and very wet \nLand Caves - cool and dark \nWetlands - there are many types of wetlands, including swamps, marshes, moors, bogs, fens, sloughs, etc. \nFreshwater Marsh - a wetland located near creeks, streams, rivers and lakes \nTemperate ponds

Umm, it's the desert man, how do you think it feels?  It's hot, not humid, with an excess of sun all day long.  All because of the lack of moisture in the air to absorb the direct sunlight.  Letting it come through at full force to cause skin cancer, and bake the highways.  Did you know that at noon you can cook a hamburger on the asphalt?

Deserts can be either HOT or COLD. Antartica is also a desert.\n\nIn geography, a desert is a landscape form or region that receives little precipitation. Generally deserts are defined as areas that receive an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 inches).\n\nDeserts have a reputation for supporting very little life. Compared to wetter regions this may be true, although deserts often have high biodiversity, including animals that remain hidden (especially during the daylight) to preserve moisture. About one-fifth of Earth's land surface is desert.\n\nDesert landscapes have certain features. Deserts are often composed of sand and rocky surfaces. Sand dunes called ergs and stony or hamada surfaces compose a minority of desert surfaces. Exposures of rocky terrain are typical, and reflect minimal soil development and sparseness of vegetation. Bottom lands may be salt-covered flats. Eolian (wind-driven) processes are major factors in shaping desert landscapes. Cold deserts have similar features but the main form of precipation is snow rather than rain. The largest cold desert is Antarctica (composed of about 98 percent thick continental ice sheet and 2 percent barren rock). The largest hot desert is the Sahara.

OK!\nCold deserts are at altitudes above the tree line on mountains and outside the Artic/Antartic Circles. Permafrost is the rule and so plants that grow must be ephemeral (short lived), mosses and lichens. \n\nSorry but I can't help more than taht>

Throughout Egypt, days are commonly warm or hot, and nights are cool. Egypt has only two seasons: a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. The only differences between the seasons are variations in daytime temperatures and changes in prevailing winds. In the coastal regions, temperatures range between an average minimum of 14° C in winter and an average maximum of 30° C in summer. \nTemperatures vary widely in the inland desert areas, especially in summer, when they may range from 7° C at night to 43° C during the day. During winter, temperatures in the desert fluctuate less dramatically, but they can be as low as 0° C at night and as high as 18° C during the day. \n\nThe average annual temperature increases moving southward from the Delta to the Sudanese border, where temperatures are similar to those of the open deserts to the east and west. In the north, the cooler temperatures of Alexandria during the summer have made the city a popular resort. Throughout the Delta and the northern Nile Valley, there are occasional winter cold spells accompanied by light frost and even snow. At Aswan, in the south, June temperatures can be as low as 10° C at night and as high as 41° C during the day when the sky is clear. \n\nEgypt receives fewer than eighty millimeters of precipitation annually in most areas. Most rain falls along the coast, but even the wettest area, around Alexandria, receives only about 200 millimeters of precipitation per year. Alexandria has relatively high humidity, but sea breezes help keep the moisture down to a comfortable level. Moving southward, the amount of precipitation decreases suddenly. Cairo receives a little more than one centimeter of precipitation each year. The city, however, reports humidity as high as 77 percent during the summer. But during the rest of the year, humidity is low. The areas south of Cairo receive only traces of rainfall. Some areas will go years without rain and then experience sudden downpours that result in flash floods. Sinai receives somewhat more rainfall (about twelve centimeters annually in the north) than the other desert areas, and the region is dotted by numerous wells and oases, which support small population centers that formerly were focal points on trade routes. Water drainage toward the Mediterranean Sea from the main plateau supplies sufficient moisture to permit some agriculture in the coastal area, particularly near Al Arish. \n\nA phenomenon of Egypt's climate is the hot spring wind that blows across the country. The winds, known to Europeans as the sirocco and to Egyptians as the khamsin, usually arrive in April but occasionally occur in March and May. The winds form in small but vigorous low-pressure areas in the Isthmus of Suez and sweep across the northern coast of Africa. Unobstructed by geographical features, the winds reach high velocities and carry great quantities of sand and dust from the deserts. These sandstorms, often accompanied by winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, can cause temperatures to rise as much as 20° C in two hours. The winds blow intermittently and may continue for days, cause illness in people and animals, harm crops, and occasionally damage houses and infrastructure.\n\nactually temperatures average you find also at this source.

Thin air, but there are storms with high velocity winds.  Very cold at the poles, and cold elsewhere with a bright sun.  No clouds, but the wind picks up a lot of dust and sand.

There are many deserts in world however Principal Deserts of the World are 20 odd.\n\nDetails:\n\nDeserts are arid regions, generally receiving less than ten inches of precipitation a year, or regions where the potential evaporation rate is twice as great as the precipitation.\n\nThe world's deserts are divided into four categories. Subtropical deserts are the hottest, with parched terrain and rapid evaporation. Although cool coastal deserts are located within the same latitudes as subtropical deserts, the average temperature is much cooler because of frigid offshore ocean currents. Cold winter deserts are marked by stark temperature differences from season to season, ranging from 100° F (38° C) in the summer to 10° F (–12° C) in the winter. Polar regions are also considered to be deserts because nearly all moisture in these areas is locked up in the form of ice.\nDesertLocationSizeTopography\nSUBTROPICAL DESERTS\nSaharaMorocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia3.5 million sq. mi.70% gravel plains, sand, and dunes.

Ca dépend quand-même beaucoup de la température de l'eau. Si tu vas te baigner dans une piscine à 27°C juste après un repas, tu ne risques pas grand chose !
