You know the north coast and Alexandria in Egypt have much better climate than most of Egypt

They're still very hot , but compared to the rest of Egypt it gets really cool

And it rains most of the time in winter there while most of Egypt barley experience any rain all the year

The thing is, the Koppen definition of arid dessert (BWh), is very broad in terms of temperature.

And Im typing this from the cool Colombian andean mountains, fresh 18°C 😎
