Desert climate: Difference between revisions

{{Redirect|BWkBWc||BWKBWC (disambiguation){{!}}BWKBWC}}

Cold desert climates (''BWkBWc'') usually feature hot (or warm in a few instances), dry summers, though summers are not typically as hot as hot desert climates. Unlike hot desert climates, cold desert climates tend to feature cold, dry winters. Snow tends to be rare in regions with this climate. The [[Gobi Desert]] in northern China and Mongolia is one example of cold desert. Though hot in the summer, it shares the very cold winters of the rest of [[Inner Asia]]. Summers in South America's [[Atacama Desert]] are mild with only slight temperature variations between seasons. Cold desert climates are typically found at higher altitudes than hot desert climates and are usually drier than hot desert climates.
