Is it true that desert temperatures commonly fall more than 20 degrees Celsius between day and night?
Unclear. A NASA biome page reports desert daytime averages near 38°C and nighttime averages near -3.9°C, and a survival handbook notes large day-night temperature differences in some deserts. Neither source states the specific 'more than 20 degrees Celsius' figure or how commonly it occurs.
