Default Riyadh --low minimum temps?

At 24.7 degrees N and presumably in a built-up area there are 2c and
3c minima forecast. Seems very cool to me for a Saudi Arabian City,
about 2000 feet asl.
A ground frost maybe? Is that where our winter has gone...……


I know that in deserts it can get very chilly at night, presumably
because clear skies, little wind and low humidity means that heat can be
rapidly radiated out into space.
