Here are 4 epitomes of "hot desert" climates; endless sunshine with extreme heat all summer;all their winters have very comfortable daytime weather but chilly nights. Nonetheless, there are definitely differences between them so which would you pick (decide on climate alone and not other factors such as culture or location).

A) Palm Springs, California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_S...fornia#Climate

B) Yuma, Arizona: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuma,_Arizona#Climate

C) Aswan, Egypt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aswan#Climate

D) Kuwait City: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait_City#Climate

I am between Aswan and Palm Springs. What about humidity levels in Palm Springs. I guess it is dry?

If I'm gonna live in an extreme climate that I hate, I'll just pick the most extreme one. More interesting that way. Also, AC is surely a ubiquity in Kuwait, so my attitude is "why not?" I'm sure I'd be spending most of my day indoors with full AC on anyways for most of the year in all of these places.

They're all very similar so it's basically a toss-up in the end, and I'll take Palm Springs I guess... Only thing I'm certain of on this poll is that I wouldn't choose Kuwait City.

Yuma has comfortable weather for the longest continuous time. Nov-Apr look nice. November in particular looks spectacular. The rest of the year not so much...

Aswan for endless sunshine and extremely warm winters. It also gets really hot in summer from May to September.

All four are awful garbage, but Kuwait is best because it's most continental.
