Özet

Arid regions generally have great temperature differences between day and night. Heating degree-days are indicative of the need to heat buildings. We show that the maximum and minimum temperatures are linearly related at high significance levels. Degree-day calculations using only maximum temperature records are presented and risk assessments are explained. Regional variations of monthly degree-days are mapped and their relations to local topography examined. Arid regions generally have great temperature differences between day and night.
