There isn't much rainfall in the arctic, about 6 to 10 inches a year including melted snow. Some of the worlds greatest desert get more rainfall than that. Much of the arctic has rain and fog in the summer. Even though there is very low rainfall the arctic lands can be very wet underfoot because the moisture evaporates very slowly and the drainage conditions are poor.
