Temperature - Summer
DESERT : Average high temperatures in summer are generally over 40 °C (104 °F) at low elevations, and can even rise up to 48 °C (114.8 °F) at extremely low elevations (lower than sea level), especially along the Persian Gulf near the sea level. Average low temperatures in summer remain high, over 20 °C (68 °F) and sometimes over 30 °C (77 °F) in the southern most regions. Record high temperatures are above 50 °C (122 °F) in much of the desert, due in part to very low elevation.
