Your definition may differ, or maybe mines is skewed from living in Australia, but I would consider most of those temperate, the only exceptions being Cairo and Khartoum.

> More than 25 percent of Africa is desert. Sahara is not the only desert in Africa.

Deserts also get extremely cold.

Deserts get extremely cold because there's too little vegetation. Vegetation holds water. Water is amazing for storing warmth. Without humidity, it's up to the Sun, so very hot in day and cold at night.

Why there's no vegetation ? Because there's hot during the day.

You might be right, mine's skewed too.

This is where I grew up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novosibirsk#Climate

Them deserts got nothing on Siberia.

I'm all too familiar with +30 Summer, -30 Winter swings, and those are far from pleasant.
