Precipitation in temperate grasslands (those lying between about 25° and 65° latitude) usually ranges from approximately 10-30 in (25-75 cm) per year.
Forests will need more precipitation than grasslands. Grasslands are rather dry.

The grasslands of Africa typically experience a seasonal pattern of precipitation, with rainy seasons bringing higher amounts of rainfall and dry seasons having very little precipitation. The amount of precipitation can vary depending on the specific region within the grasslands.
Grasslands receive about 10 to 30 inches of rain per year.

Precipitation in the temperate grasslands usually occurs in the late spring and early summer. The annualaverage is about 50.8 to 88.9 cm (20-35 inches)
Grasslands typically have hot summers and cold winters, with moderate to low levels of precipitation. This results in a dry environment, often with periodic droughts. Grasslands may also experience strong winds due to lack of significant barriers like mountains or forests.
Grasslands generally receive about twice the annual precipitation of deserts.

Grasslands are created by the climate, the amount of precipitation that falls annually, the topography and the animals that live in it. Grasses are found all over the world--literally--and a biome where there is very little tree cover and lots of space with just enough precipitation is enough to make grasses grow and thrive in that area.
The diagram indicates that temperate grasslands experience moderate temperatures and precipitation, with distinct seasonal variations. Typically, temperatures are warm during the growing season and cooler in winter, while precipitation is relatively low, concentrated mainly in the spring and summer months. This combination of climate factors supports the growth of grasses rather than trees, making temperate grasslands unique ecosystems. Overall, the diagram highlights the balance between warmth and moisture that characterizes these regions.
Grasslands typically receive around 1-2 inches of precipitation per month, but this can vary depending on the specific location and climate. Grasslands can experience seasonal fluctuations in precipitation, with some months being drier or wetter than others.
