sand does not obsord mosture therefore when the heat stikes there is no precipitation coming out of the ground or *steam* which goes up in the atmosphere or *sky* and builds pressure until the rain drops. the answer why there is not much rain, is no vegetation nor grass/soil is there to build up moisture so its too dry to go through the *water cycle* which is whats required to have rain
