The Chihuahuan Desert is huge and much of it is in Mexico where there are few places reporting weather conditions. In winter the temperature falls below freezing for a few hours at night on rare occasions. However, a surprise cold front in early February of 2011 dropped the temperature to -20 degrees F (-29 C) in some locations.

How hot is it in the desert at day time?
Some of the hot deserts daytime temperature can get up to 45°C, or 113 °F or even higher than that.Remember that a "desert" is just an area which receives less than 10 inches of precipitation annually. Both the Mojave Desert, which has one of the highest recorded temperatures on the planet, and Antarctica, which has the lowest recorded temperature on the planet, are considered deserts.
The highest and lowest temperature ever been in a desert?
The hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent ground temperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer can attest to that.The coldest temperature of -129 degrees F. was recorded in 1983 in the Antarctic Desert.Some say that number was surpassed in 2010 when a satellite recorded a temperature of -135.8F.
