Precipitation in the tundra totals 150 to 250 mm a year, including melted snow. That's less than most of the world's greatest deserts! Still, the tundra is usually a wet place because the low temperatures cause evaporation of water to be slow.
Almost all of the minimal precipitation that the Tundra receives is snow. The growing season in the Tundra is short and only lasts around 45 to 90 days. The climate of the Alpine Biome is very similar to the Climate of the Tundra. Alpine Biome can be found in regions such as the Himalayas. In the Alpine temperatures average below zero at night. This area does receive more precipitation than the tundra. The Alpine, on average, receives 20 inches of precipitation a year. Most of the precipitation in this biome is snow. One unique aspect in the Alpine Climate is the wind. Strong winds in the Alpine exceed speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
