Welcome to Owen and Megan's Desert Homepage! Dry season The wet season

=  Climate    =  Although the climate of the desert is mostly dry, it does have a wet season. The desert has two seasons: wet and dry. There are hot deserts and cold deserts. When it is hot the temperature can easily reach 100 degrees farenheit and above. But when it gets cold, the desert can get colder than most people would assume it could get. When most people think desert they think hot, but in some deserts there is snow year round it just depends on were in the world. The desert receives less than 25 centimeters of rain per year.About 20 of that 25 falls during the wet season. But when it rains it pours! There can be huge storms but after those storms the desert will probably not see rain again for a great while.

Location!!! The location of the deserts is between 15 and 35 degrees latitude north and south. But some are located by mountains that are caused because of little rain fall from being on the rain shadow side of the mountain. Deserts can be found all over the world even in colder climates. They can even cover up a whole big area of land like the Sahara Desert in Africa. Did you know that deserts can be really hot or really cold because when I think of a desert I think of hot and dry but it can also be cold and dry? Here is a map to show you all the deserts in the world and how hot or cold it is.
