Usage Note
Arido describes land or climate that is extremely dry and barren. Figuratively it can describe a person or situation as cold and unfeeling (un'anima arida = a barren soul). It is not commonly used for everyday dryness (a dry towel would be asciutto, not arido).
Examples
"Il clima del deserto è molto arido."
Natural Translation
