Wettest Desert

I'm going to start posting little facts that I find in the 2007 edition of The Guiness Book of World Records. Here is my first one:


The Sonora Desert, Arizona, USA - where daytime temperatures may exceed 104° in summer - receives 4.7 - 11.8 inches of rain annually. This desert is unusual in that it experiences two wet seasons - one from December - March and a second from July to September.
