Abstract: 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.
