The type of climate characterized by very low rainfall and high temperatures is classified as a desert climate, often found in regions such as the Sahara or Atacama Desert. This climate results in arid conditions, with vegetation being sparse due to limited water availability. High temperatures are prevalent during the day, sometimes reaching extreme highs, while nights can be significantly cooler. The lack of precipitation is a defining feature of this climate type, leading to unique ecosystems and adaptations in flora and fauna.
