Temperature has nothing to do with being a desert; it's all about precipitation and surface water. Because Los Angeles receives about 12" a year and has surface water, it's semi-arid but not a desert. In fact, Antarctica is one of the driest deserts on earth. Actually, Los Angeles is NOT a desert.

It may not be Las Vegas or Palm Springs, but without water being brought in from the north and east, LA would not exist as it is - it would revert back to a desert-like place. Where I lived in LA for 14 years it was over 100 degrees all summer long. LA is, in fact, a desert – and if you took the water away, it return to one.
