What is the proper expressions to mean, "The temprature drops a lot at night these days"?

Are the following expressions appropriate/natural to you?

1> The temprature difference is huge between day and night recently.
2> The gap of temprature is big during the day.
3> These days, the temprature fluctuates between day and night.

Thank you!

Check your spelling. I would rewrite your sentences as follows:

1> The temprature difference is huge between day and night recently.
At this time of year, the difference between daytime and nighttime temperature is huge.

2> The gap of temprature is big during the day.
The gap between daytime and nighttime temperature is large this time of year.

3> These days, the temprature fluctuates between day and night.
[I wouldn't say this at all, because the temperature always fluctuates between day and night, everywhere.]
