When Reiger and Liz stepped out of the Sunset Tavern and onto the street outside, the sky had already grown dark.
Stars were beginning to appear, and the round moon too was slowly rising; the temperature in Sinclair was dropping at an alarming rate, to the point where even now it had fallen to a bone-chilling level.
This was a characteristic of the desert terrain.
Many people assume that the desert is hot all the time, but in reality, it's not the case.
In the desert, the temperature during the day is indeed very high, but once night falls, the temperature plummets, with a huge difference between day and night temperatures.
In severe cases, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert can exceed 50°C: blisteringly hot during the day like the height of summer, and cold at night like the depths of winter, which is astonishing.
