Most deserts receive less than one inch of rain per year

Jeffrey Lee · Answer 2

Rainfall in hyper-arid regions seldom is over 100 mm (4 inches) per year, is irregular, and sometimes doesn't fall for several years. Reasons ... Most of it has an average annual rainfall below 50 mm (2 inches), but an area in the south of this desert has a mean annual rainfall of less than 16 mm (0.6 inches).
