On the subject of average temperature, you can make that average whatever you want by placing the planet closer or further from the sun. However, less moisture in the air (and fewer clouds to block or trap heat) tends to result in wider swings of temperature over the course of a day, producing hotter afternoons and colder nights.
As someone who lives downwind of Lake Michigan, I can tell you that it is perfectly possible to have a humid climate and ecosystem in the vicinity of one of these small seas, even if the rest of the planet is mostly desert.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
