I think lots of people have heard about the initially shocking fact that deserts can be cold, because we associate deserts with heat. But the other day I informed someone that the UAE is really humid in the summer and they incredulously said that that’s impossible because the UAE is a desert. Which is partly correct. It’s a desert. A desert with large coastlines in the Arabian Gulf (large in a relative sense, the country is very small) and Gulf of Oman. But the important part is that while the UAE can be humid, it still gets very little rain. Thereby making it a desert. So in summary, humid deserts can exist in the right conditions, particularly costal deserts

fun note: southern california actually kinda acts like the flip side: it's coastal but feels really dry and kinda flip flops between being a desert and being greenish, depending on nearby development.

The air goes from the mountain to the sea, so we barely get any rain too, but hang around University of California Irvine, and it's pretty humid.

I initially read that as, "I think lots of people have heard about the initially shocking fact that desserts can be cold, because we associate desserts with heat."

Which, I would like to throw in brownie à la mode for some contrasting temperatures if it was about desserts.

but there are lots of "hot" desserts much more than cold deserts
