Nature’s Involvement In Desert Cold Weather
Middle Eastern geography, with its rough mountains and huge deserts, plays a vital role in lowering the temperature. The desert is normally sweltering during the day. But temperatures drop dramatically at night because the air is so dry. Hence heat quickly escapes.
Another component is sand, which does not hold heat. So when the sun goes down, the surface has no heat to absorb. When it comes to the Middle East’s hilly geography, what goes up must come down in temperature. As air rises, it expands and cools. Making a mountain top a dangerous place for individuals who aren’t wrapped.
