Area 51 gets its share of extreme weather. From freezing temperatures in the winter, often with snow, to hot dry summers. The coldest I have seen here in Rachel, in the next valley over from Area 51, was -18F. Summer temps are often in the 100's. The climate is very dry as you said with occasional heavy rains during the monsoon season around August. The average annual rainfall over the last 25 years is less than 5" with recent years being significantly drier.
