Normally, the sands of this desert are scorching hot, but recently, the weather has cooled down considerably. Now, there frequently is rain... The nights are freezing cold, becoming even colder as the days do, so you'd better make sure you have some extremely heavy blankets with you. The desert isn't nearly as dry as it used to be either, and it could be argued that it doesn't even count as a desert with the amount of rain it has been getting recently.
