Death Valley is in the rain shadow of the tallest mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Those rains catch most of the moisture from the winter rains. The Summer rains of the western US come from the Pacific but come up through the Arizona or the Gulf of Mexico. So, Death Valley misses both the winter and summer rains.
