August was hot as hell down here. The temperature drops suddenly in September, though, to the point that it's downright chilly during the night. (Still gets relatively warm during the day, though.)
The wind kicks up a lot, though. During the day, it scatters sand around like pellets from a shotgun - something like a blowdryer from Hell. At night, it makes the lower temperatures even colder. And either day or night, it can get seriously gusty, with the ability to rock a car or make your tent shake like it's going to take off and fly away.
It still hasn't rained, though. And from my previous experience in the Middle East, I expect that to be a torrential downpour something like standing under a waterfall.
