Detailed explanation-1: -In a broad sense, the Southwest’s climate is mostly dry and hot, with much of the region characterized as arid. Dry conditions are common throughout the Great Plains, Colorado Plateau, and Basin and Range. Cold continental conditions dominate the higher altitudes, especially within the Rocky Mountains.
Detailed explanation-2: -The climate of the Southwest is most influenced by its geographic location between the mid-latitude and subtropical atmospheric circulation regimes. This positioning leads to year-round warm temperatures, low annual precipitation, and clear skies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot-Dry. A hot-dry climate is generally defined as a region that receives less than 20 in. (50 cm) of annual precipitation and where the monthly average outdoor temperature remains above 45°F (7°C) throughout the year.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most of Southwest Asia has an arid, or very dry, climate. Deserts cover most of the Arabian Peninsula and large parts of Iran. Temperatures can rise to 129°F (54°C). When rains come, torrents of water race through wadis, or streambeds that are normally dry.
