What is the coldest temperature recorded in the Sahara?

The Sahara Desert is one of the most arid regions in the world and is known for its extreme heat. But, what is the coldest temperature ever recorded in this desert? It may surprise you to know that the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Sahara was -11°C (12.2°F). This was registered on February 18th, 1935 at a weather station in Algeria's Tamanrasset province. This record has since been broken several times, but it still stands as one of the lowest temperatures ever recorded in this region.
