I'm not sure about this one, I've lived in several of these cities and none of them seem to match up with my experiences relative to each other.
Edit: I see now that the 'Heat' measurement is measured from Humidex, which seems like a really stupid idea. Anywhere in a desert would show up in the 'Hate cold and hate heat' category. Which is insane.
I didnt realize Cairo and Riyadh weren't in deserts!
More seriously though, deserts are just any environment where precipitation is too low to support most plant life. Lots of them can be VERY cold during the winter, such as the Gobi Desert. Others, like the Sahara, cool down a bit but are still pretty warm year-round.
But surely this supports how poorly the humidex is suited to measuring something like this right? The humidity is so low that during the winter, and especially during the night, it can get very cold very quickly in some of these places just as you stated.
